Mexican Tortilla Soup

The cheese and tortilla chips mingling in the soup are simply irresistible. The lime's tanginess is refreshing and delicious. The origin of this recipe: I tried 'Tortilla Soup' in Cancun, and it was so delicious that I recreated it from memory.

Great with taco rice too! This time, I ran out of onions, so I substituted with celery and green onions.
