*my family added tortilla chips to their soup and a dollop of sour cream. 

This is the most amazing recipe. It tastes just like the one I had years ago Mexican restaurant. Not only is this the most flavorsome soup ever but it's low carb too!!! That means I can fill up on it and without guilt! 

Sadly, I can't claim the credit for this recipe and I can't remember where I go it. So just enjoy!
