Chicken Tortilla Soup
This recipe was one of my first posts back in the Fall of 2007. This recipe is one where it truly hits the heart of my wife, and those who eat it. The result is nothing but extraordinary, and really orgasmic in terms of comments and results; something truly comforting. Chicken tortilla soup. Everything is easy in terms of ingredients, and time, but nothing short of flavor and feelings.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp cilantro, 2 for cooking, 2 for garnish
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- Can of diced tomatoes, medium
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 TB cumin powder
- Chicken breasts, thinly sliced
- Chicken stock, 1.5 quarts
- Homemade or store bought tortilla chips
- 1 avocado, core removed, sliced or cubed (garnish)
- 1 tbsp shallot, minced (garnish)
- 1/2 fresh lime, juiced (garnish)
- 1 cup of monterray jack cheese (more, optional)
Heat 1TB of olive oil and add the onion, garlic, and 2 TB of cilantro. Cook through, around 4 minutes. In a blender, add the onion, garlic, and cilantro mixture. Add the can of diced tomatoes to the blender, and do just that, blend. Blend until smooth. On medium heat, add another TB of oil. Add the tomato puree the oil, as well as 1TB of cumin powder. Add the chicken. Add the stock, and let simmer for 20 minutes. During this time, if you are making your own chips, cut up corn tortillas into thin slices, and add to a pan of hot oil. Cook until golden brown, drain, and salt generously.
Once the soup is done and the chicken cooked through, get ready for some fun. With a big ladle, add soup to your bowl. Put in about a 1/2 of shredded cheese, tortilla chips, and top with fresh cilantro , shallot, and avocado.
Enjoy!
