So I am just going to bust this one out tonight as well. My "Sextos" chicken tortilla soup recipe. A lot of people seemed to like this one on my instagram and it was hands down the best chicken tortilla soup I have ever had. We named it "Sextos" because that's my last name, sexton, and my mom's, santos, meshed together. I know I know, we are original. :-p When I cook with my mom we normally try to make it paleo friendly because she lives a paleo lifestyle. However, this soup is not paleo friendly, just a heads up on that. We are hoping that as we make it more in the future we will find some great substitutions and eventually have a paleo friendly creamy chicken tortilla soup! I'll keep you guys posted if/when that happens. :) Anywho here's the recipe enjoy!
Side note: we do a lot of things "to taste", sorry thats just how it goes in this house hold. So know your spices and judge for yourself based on what you personally like.
