My grandma is a legend when it comes to jello.
Everyone remembers her for her jello. She didn't learn to cook until she was married. Everything she made was simple and wholesome. She was amazingly organized and clean. A modern lady and an old fashioned mom whose table was always full and always ready for family.

Tortilla Soup

TORTILLA SOUP
*adapted from Kraft Foods Recipe

Ingredients
4 Tbs. Italian Dressing
2 cloves garlic minced
2 cans (14 1/2 - 15 oz) of chicken broth
1 to 1 1/2 cups water
1 lb of skinless, boneless chicken breast (I always use less if you want)
1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
Some fresh cilantro
Toppings - Tortilla chips, Shredded Cheddar & Monterey Jack or Mexican Shredded Cheese Mix, and sour cream

Cook chicken in large pan and then shred. In a large saucepan add the dressing and the garlic and cook for a 1-2 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Gradually add chicken broth and water while stirring. Add shredded chicken and bring mixture to a boil. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce. Drop in some cilantro (I usually use 2-3 sprigs) and cook on a medium heat while stirring till it begins to simmer again. Add in desired toppings in desired amount.
