Fiesta Chicken Soup
"This is how I make tortilla or fiesta soup. It's economical and protein-rich without using a lot of chicken breasts. I poach the chicken breast in water and save the water to add to the soup. We usually serve with quesadillas or nachos."

I am a SAHM who loves to cook for my small family! I have a 14 month old daughter, a wonderful husband, a seven year-old Keeshond and a cat named Rex Manly.
I really just love this website! I visit it practically every weekday for ideas and recipes and try to always post a review of everything I make from Zaar. The only time I don't is when I have a negative reaction to a recipe that was due to my mistake or if I have substituted so many ingredients that it wouldn't be a fair review. Thanks to all of you wonderful cooks who have made me a better cook myself!
