(Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1/4 bunch cilantro, well washed (leaves only)
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 small onion, chopped
- 1 small can of green chilies
- 6 cups chicken stock/broth
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can tomatoes
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in a small amount of water
- Corn tortillas (about 10) cut into thin strips
- vegetable oil
- 1-2 cups cooked chicken (2 oz. per serving)
- Monterey Jack cheese (1 oz. per serving)
- 1-2 avocados, peeled, pitted and sliced
Preparation:
Puree cilantro, garlic, onion, chilies, and tomatoes in a blender or food processor. Heat stock and add pureed mixture into cumin and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 1 hour. Stir dissolved cornstarch into stock. Often I don't add the cornstarch since I like a thinner soup.
Fry tortillas in oil until crisp; drain well. Add chicken to stock and garnish with shredded cheese, tortila strips, avocado, sour cream, salsa, or whatever else you prefer.
