Chicken Tortilla Soup

this is Alissa Rothschild's recipe and one of my FAVORITES

This isn't exact. I don't really have a recipe for it - I just throw it together. But, this should be really close.

1 bunch Cilantro - Chopped

1 Tablespoons ground Cumin
1 1/2 Tablespoons ground Chili Powder
2 Bay Leafs
7 Cups Chicken Stock
1/2 Cup Sour Cream
1 Rotisserie Chicken - Shredded
Salt to taste
Cayenne Pepper to taste (a few dashes)

Heat Oil over Medium Heat
Add Onions, Cilantro, Garlic, Tortillas - Cook for a few Minutes
Add the Tomatoes- Bring to Boil
Add Chicken Stock, Cumin, Chili Powder, Bay Leaves - Bring to Boil
Add Salt, Cayenne Pepper
Reduce Heat and Simmer 30 min or so
