Tortilla Soup

This was originally named "Spicy Chicken Soup" but to me it tasted so much like a tortilla soup that we added the cheese and tortilla chips on top and ate it that way. It makes a lot of soup, so I always make it when I am making dinner for someone. Plenty of soup for our own family and the family we are feeding.







2 quarts water
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 Tb dried parsley

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 cans chili beans
