Meatless Tortilla Soup

I had to be outside at 6:30 AM this morning.  I don't like to be out this early, and I especially don't like it when it's 0 degrees.  That's right, there wasn't even a number on the thermometer this morning.  It is a soup, warm your bones, kind of day.

I came up with this meatless Tortilla Soup.  Amazingly, my entire family loves it!  I repeat, my entire family loves it!  Victory!
