Tortilla soup

6 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips
1 4 oz can green chillis, undrained
1 14 oz can beef broth, undiluted
1 10-3/4 oz can chicken broth, undiluted
chicken (I either boil one or buy the bag of precooked fajita chicken)
2 tsp Worchestershire sauce
1 tst ground cumin
1/8 tsp pepper
paprika
1 small onion, chopped
clove garlic, crushed
2 tbsp vegetble oil
1 cup water
1 tsp chili powder
12 oz Velveeta

Saute onion, garlic in 2 tsp oil in large pot. Add remaining ingredients except cheese, paprika and tortillas. Bring to a boil, cover and reduce heat. Simmer one hour. Add tortilla stirps and cheese. Simmer until cheese melted. Sprinkle with paprika and serve with tortilla chips.

I usually double for family of 5. Also, can be made with vegetable broth instead of beef and chicken, and without chicken for vegetarian-types.
