Abondigas Soup (Mexican Meatball Soup)

A personal favorite and my step-son's very favorite soup. This simple, yet tasty soup is enhanced by adding the crunchy texture of the corn chips. I've had the recipe for so long I can even remember where I got it. I know I have been making it for at least 20 years.
