For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth. Adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to control the spiciness of the soup. For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. Make the tortilla strips ahead of time and store them in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema for added richness.
