Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

We have been married for almost 11 months now and I had never made a soup until today. Can you believe it? So today in the morning, I logged in to www.allrecipes.com and started looking for a chicken soup recipe. They have many recipes but there was one in particular that caught my eye (or my tummy). Its a chicken tortilla soup and it is delicious. Here is the recipe if you want to try it.
