Here is one of my favorites, great for a cold fall evening or winter lunch, and light enough even for spicy summer fare. This quick and easy Mexican recipe can be made in a matter of minutes if you have your ingredients ready, and like many soups, it's easily modified according to taste. Throw in veggies of your choice, use different chilies, try different toppings, such as cilantro, diced peppers or onions, sour cream, different cheeses, etc. My favorites are cilantro and fresh lime juice.

For those who are new cooks, frying the tortilla strips can seem a bit challenging (in fact, even as a fairly experienced cook, I usually don't bother smelling up the house) -- a quick and easy substitute is to use purchased tortilla chips, lightly crushed. Slightly stale is fine - in fact, they stand up a bit better in the soup.
But feel free to experiment, and as always, make it your own!
