Chicken Soup with Lime and tortillas

Prep:15minCook:25min

I often make this soup using rotisserie chicken. It's nutritious, heart healthy and low cal. I also use a whole jalapeno because we like spicy food. If you don't have tortilla chips on hand, and are not watching calories you can fry a tortilla cut into small strips and sprinkle that on top of soup. An avocado diced can be also be added as a garnish.
