Notes: We were in Lockhart, Texas, in a GREAT little 'mom & pop' motel one evening after a long day rafting on the Guadalupe River. Nothing was on TV, and we were watching some Texas cooking show and they made this soup. I wrote down the ingredients and the instructions... When we got back to Tucson, I tried it. We have tried several Tortilla Soup recipes, and we really love this one best!
