A friend at work was telling me about this soup and how great it was. I gave it a try a couple of days ago and it really is fabulous!
The soup itself hardly has any fat. If you add baked tortilla chips and soy or rice cheese it makes for a very tasty meal that's safe.
The only thing I did different was boiled the boneless/skinless chicken in a separate pot, skimmed off the gross yucky stuff that rises to the top, cut it up, and then added it to the soup.

By the way here's what you need as far as the chipotle & adobo sauce ingredient. You can find it with salsa in the regular grocery store.
Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce by Embasa There are enough in this little can for about 4 pots of soup! - I froze the rest in tiny containers for future use
Pastor Tom's Tortilla Soup
Okay, I give up! All my members keep asking for my famous tortilla soup recipe. Here it is. Muy Bueno!
16 ounce can tomatoes
1 medium onion, cut up
2 clove garlic
4 tablespoons snipped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sugar
8 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast cut up
2 or 3 *chipotle peppers and little adobo sauce
shredded Monterey jack cheese
avocados cut up
Tortilla chips
Sour cream
In blender combine undrained tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and sugar. Cover and blend till nearly smooth. Put mixture into a large pot with chicken broth, chicken and chipotle peppers. Bring to boiling; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Put crunched tortilla chips in a bowl with cheese, avocados, and sour cream (omit if desired) . Ladle soup over; serve immediately. Makes 8 or 10 servings.
* I'm sure people are wondering what is a chipolte pepper. It is a smoked jalapeņo. It is usually found in adobo sauce. Do not think the soup will taste good without it. It is the reason why my soup recipe is so good.
