Amazing Tortilla Soup
I used to hate soup. But now, I'm a "Souper." I usually recommend breadbowls for soup, but they don't work so well with broth base soups.
Anyway, this soup is fabulous and I promise you will absolutely love it!
2 TBS of olive oil.
1/2 c chopped onion
1/2 T minced garlic
1/2 c red bell peppers
1/4 c chopped green chiles. (or a small can of green chiles)
3/4 T dried basil
1/2 ts salt 1/4ts ground pepper
15oz Can of diced or stewed tomato (if you can find tomato and cilantro together it's even better)
10 six inch corn tortillas
2 cups of shredded chicken breast
4 cups of chicken broth
**Garnish**
Sliced avocado
1 cup shredded cheese
cook onion and garlic in 2TBS of olive oil until soft. Stir in chicken broth, red bell peppers and green chiles, basil, salt and pepper, and can of tomatos. Heat to boiling. simmer uncovered for 30 min. Cut corn tortilla's into strips in hot oil and fry until crispy and golden brown..
To serve:
put 1/4 cup some of the tortilla strips in bottom of a bowl, add some shredded chicken on top. pour chicken broth/soup over the top. Garnish with avocado slices and shredded cheese.
It makes about 4 servings. I recommend you double it because you WILL want 2nds!
