Tortilla Soup

This was a very good soup, not too spicy but having a nice, mellow heat. The garnishes are what make the soup. I was a little concerned that 1-1/2 quarts would be too much, so I ended up taking out half the base before seasoning and freezing for other chicken soups. I'm not sure I would make this often, as it has a bit too much going on to be suitable for weeknight cooking. But it would be nice for a weekend meal, especially if you have stale tortillas to use up.
