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 : )

Here’s some pic’s from the game… it was against the Jets and Broncos WON!!
Lori… It was so much fun! Drew's first pro game! Our friends hooked us up with the tickets (they have season tix this year!) They're having such a good season now… hope they keep it up!
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. 🙂
