"Growing up we have all had that one friend who's mom was like our second mom....in fact I'm pretty sure in my teenage years I was at my friends house more than my own so because of that my "second mom" made me more dinners then my own mom. This Chicken Tortilla Soup was my favorite thing she made....i would ask for it so much she finally showed me how to make it myself. Over the years I have tweaked a few things and made it my own but three things she showed me i will never change! 1. Better Than Bouillon Chicken Base 2. Zucchini and Yellow Squash 3. 1 Can of Crushed Tomatoes"
