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
- 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.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or longer to bring out flavors. Ladle into bowls & garnish.
- Add garnish of a handful of tortilla strips, avocado chunks and a dollop of sour cream to each bowl. SOOOO GOOD!!
