Corn Tortilla Soup

Originally, we both thought that this soup would be boring.  It doesn’t have any spices in it except salt and pepper, but it actually turned out really well.  I didn’t intentionally plan a dinner without any meat in it and we were worried at the beginning that it wouldn’t be as filling as it would have been with meat in it, but it was just right and I don’t think that meat would have added anything to it.  The corn tortillas really made the difference in this soup.  You could definitely taste them and they thickened the broth a bit too.  We’re having this again tomorrow for lunch and I’m really looking forward to it.
