Cheesy Tortilla Soup

OK here is the requested recipe. I got the original recipe from Taste of Home Halloween Food & Fun but I modified it a little so here is the modified version. I usually double the recipe for a crowd, I have made it two times in the past month and both times we have been scrapping the pan it is so good. Hope you enjoy!
