This chicken tortilla soup comes from a forum member.
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.

"I dont eat meat, but I wanted this soup! I used Vegetable stock from cubes and nixed the chicken at the end. To replace the chicken, I added one cup of frozen corn and a half a cup of dry pinto beans. This is now probably my favorite soup to make. I have made it three times in the last two weeks! I also toasted whole wheat tortillas cut into thin strips instead of corn tortillas. 15 minutes at 400. I only needed two tortillas for this recipe and was wondering why you'd need ten!"
