Adding this to my memories. I LOVE chicken soup and want to try this at some point :)

Planning to make this tomorrow, but enquiring minds want to know... are tortilla chips the ones used for nachos? It would be here, but one never knows ;)

Yes, regular corn tortilla chips like the ones you use for nachos.
