Emily’s Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe I got when last November, I had a long weekend in Denver… my good friend Emily lives there.  Had such a nice visit and even got to go to a Bronco’s game! (and they WON!!  that’s always more exciting, right!!)  While we were there Em made this amazing Chicken Tortilla Soup.  ( I helped a little)  I had to blog it for you all to see and I ‘ll throw in a few pic’s from our trip!  Thanks to Em and Rob for showing me such a good time : )

    Okay, My Husband, Glenn has been a Bronco's fan since he was a little tyke. He has always dreamed of going to see a Broncos's game in Denver. The tickets almost seem impossible to get. He has a sister that lives in Denver. He saw the Broncos play the Arizona Cardinals play in Arizona. Not like seeing them play in their home field. 🙂
