There are lots of recipes on the net if you need one. I make chicken
soup and add Southwestern flavors to it. Sometimes I use commercial
chili powder, sometimes I use the components: cumin, powdered chile of
my choice, oregano... sometimes I don't and I didn't last night.

I had some Musgovian chicken legs that I let simmer all day in the
slow cooker with the usual onion, carrot and celery + a decent shot
(maybe 1T) of Simply Heinz Tomato Ketchup. A couple of hours before
serving, I removed the legs , stripped the meat off (put it aside in
the refrigerator), returned the bones & skin to the broth and let it
continue to perk. That was an unnecessary step - but I didn't want to
eat and didn't want to dry the meat out.

Sometime between then and serving time I used my cheap, no name,
Japanese, fixed blade mandoline to slice up a carrot super thin and
used my favorite, expensive, German made, Wüsthof, chef's knife to cut
up the 6 remaining green onions in my vegetable bin, white parts +
greens. Shortly before serving I used my inexpensive, no name,
Chinese/Asian, kitchen spider to lift out all of the solids, turned
the slow cooker (which was the least expensive one I could find and
happens to be the Crock Pot brand) to high, added in the sliced
carrots, green onions, chicken meat and let it perk while I got the
bowls ready.

To serve, I crumbled as many restaurant style tortilla chips as I
wanted into a bowl, added a good dollop of commercial fresh salsa that
I buy from the refrigerated section of the grocery store, chopped
fresh cilantro leaves to taste and filled the bowl with what is
essentially a hearty chicken soup.

It was a tasty and filling way to end the day.... I'll call it supper
because we'd eaten a larger meal in a Thai restaurant a few hours
earlier. http://oi42.tinypic.com/t4wth5.jpg

That looks great!

We had Tortilla Soup last night. Becca's version of this is so good that
it is one of my favorite meals. I usually make the basic stock and pick
the meat off the bones... and Becca transforms that into soup. We make
a big batch at once so we can portion and freeze enough for future meals.

Wonderfully good stuff.

I love chicken tortilla soup. As you say, there are many ways to get
there and all are delicious. Yours looks really good even though we
had CTS last week.
