How do you make chicken tortilla soup with leftover hot wings?

Looking for some ideas I may use of how YOU would make it, I think hot wings will be a good starter! Will pick the one that sounds yummiest!

1. Bring some chicken broth to a boil, add in the hot wings and spice with favorite peppers and cook on medium low for fifteen to twenty minutes or until chicken soft and tender. Add a few cooked beans or cheeses to mixture during it's cooking time if that's your taste. Crunch tortilla chips into semi large peices and add to mixture near cooling off phase for a fresh soupy crisp bake taste.
2. I'd use this Tyler Florence recipe (and I'd use the hot wings for the 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken in the recipe) Mexican Tortilla Chicken Soup from Tyler Florence (Show: Food 911; Episode: Soups On!) Ingredients 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 medium white onions, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 jalapenos, seeded and minced 3 ripe medium tomatoes, chopped 1 quart chicken stock Salt and freshly ground black pepper Canola oil, for pan-frying 8 corn tortillas, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken 2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced 1 cup shredded Jack cheese, optional 1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish 1 lime, cut in wedges, for serving Directions Place a stockpot over medium heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, jalapenos, and tomatoes; cook, stirring for 15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked down and pulpy. Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat 1-inch of canola oil in a skillet over medium-high flame. When the oil begins to smoke, add the tortilla strips in batches and fry until they are crisp on all sides. Remove to a paper towel-lined platter and sprinkle with salt while they are still hot. Ladle the hot soup into 4 soup bowls and put a pile of shredded chicken on top of each. Top with the diced avocado and fried tortilla strips (and cheese if using). Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
