Description

Fantastic Chicken tortilla soup is one of the best tasting tortilla soups I have ever had  with the least amount of work!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1Tb olive oil
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 1 can diced green chilis
  • 1 lb chicken-cooked and shredded
  • ¼ tsp cayenne pepper (opt.)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 16 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1 can small white beans
  • 1 can chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/2 lime squeezed over soup
  • salt and pepper to taste

Garnish:

  • 10 yellow corn tortillas-sliced and baked*
  • 1 large avocado
  • Sour cream

*Cut tortillas into thin strips using a pizza cutter. Spray with cooking oil ( like Pam), sprinkle with kosher salt and bake in 350 oven until lightly brown and crisp.


Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat oil and sauté onion and chilies. Saute until tender. Add the chicken (*I have been using the frozen chicken tenders from Costco–I just put them on a plate in the microwave frozen at 50 % power for 15 minutes–they are super tender and moist and shred up beautifully!)and spices. Add tomatoes, beans and fresh cilantro. Add the broth.
  2. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or longer to bring out flavors. Ladle into bowls & garnish.
  3. Add garnish of a handful of tortilla strips, avocado chunks and a dollop of sour cream to each bowl. SOOOO GOOD!!
