5 cups chicken broth

Add all ingredients in pot & simmer 2 hours, covered.

About 15 minutes before you are ready to eat, cut up a large flour tortilla & put in soup pot. They get large like dumplings.

If you want a creamy soup, blend up 1/2 the soup after about an hour, then back on the stove for another hour.
