4. 4

   Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes. If the liquid level becomes too low, adjust with ½ cup of water at a time.

5. 5

   Add the cilantro and allow to boil for 2 more minutes. Adjust taste with salt and pepper until desired taste is acquired.

   Ladle the soup into soup bowls and top with tortilla. Serve while piping hot.
