Tortila Soup (that hubby actually likes)

i love tortilla soup, but dave doesn't. but it's soup season so it's bound to show up on the menu and that's all there is too it. well, this time i thought i'd try a few little change ups. normally i use a 1/2 packet of ranch dip and a 1/2 packet of taco seasoning, cause that's the recipe i first had and i liked it. but of course in trying to use as many organic items as possible, i don't really like the organic ranch mix. anyways, the recipe is below but with just a couple simple changes, the hubby declared that he actually liked it and didn't mind taking some for lunch the next day! hooray!
