As you can see, this is a super simple chicken tortilla soup recipe.  While I don’t include tortillas in the actual soup, I recommend adding them after you have finished the cooking process. I prefer a bit of “bite” in them in my soup.  If you like them to thicken the soup more, you may prefer to add during the cooking process.
