Summer Tortilla Soup

I don't usually think to make soup in the summer, but it was so cold the other day, I did it.

2 Chicken Breast Halves, pounded thin
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C Red Onion, chopped
3 Stalks Celery, chopped
1 Red or Yellow pepper, chopped
1 Jalepeno pepper, chopped (seeded unless you like it hot)
1 Zuchinni, chopped
1/2 C frozen corn
1 14 oz. can diced tomatoes
5 Cups chicken stock
1/2 t Ancho Chile powder
2 t Cholula (or other hot sauce like Tobasco)
Corn chips

Grill Chicken in a little olive oil. Remove from pan. Add more oil, if necessary and cook garlic, onion, celery and peppers until tender. Add chicken, corn, tomatoes, chicken stock, chile powder, Cholula and salt and pepper. Simmer for 30-40 minutes. To serve, spoon into bowls and crumble corn chips on top.
