 If you like a soup that's packed with vegetables, that's low in fat,
 and has some of that Southwestern zing to it, this is the one for
 you. Just toss all the ingredients in a pot and simmer. Garnish with
 some shredded cheese and crumbled tortillas, and prepare to take the
 chill off.

 Combine all the soup ingredients in a large saucepan or soup pot over
 high heat. Be sure to mince the corn tortillas into small pieces with
 a sharp knife before adding them to the soup.

 Bring soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes
 to 1 hour, or until the soup has thickened and tortilla pieces have
 mostly dissolved.

 To serve soup ladle 1-1/2 cups into a bowl. Sprinkle a heaping 1 tb
 of the grated cheddar/jack cheese blend over the top of the soup, and
 then a heaping 1 tb of crumbled corn tortilla chips over the cheese.
