Delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup

So, yesterday my mom came and watched the little man while we were both at work, since our babysitter had to attend a funeral. And guess what she brought with her...

Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup.

Yum.

I've made this version before for a soup cook-off held at a previous job a few years back, and if I'm recalling it did pretty darn good! May have even won, I can't remember...

So, I definitely wanted to share the recipe with all of you, as it is prime soup tasting weather. And like any other soup, it just tastes better the longer it sits!


Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 c. chopped onion
2 minced garlic cloves
2 T. oil

In a large pan saute the above ingredients on a low simmer until tender.

Add in:
4 oz. green chilies
12 oz. Italian style stewed tomatoes
4 c. chicken broth
1 t. lemon pepper
2 t. worchestershire sauce
1 t. chili powder
1 t. ground cumin
1/2 t. hot sauce

Simmer for 20 minutes.

In a small bowl combine 4 T. flour with 1/2 c. water. Wisk into the soup and bring to a boil. Add in 1 pound of diced/shredded chicken and simmer another 5 minutes.

The best way to eat this soup in my opinion? Add a doll up of sour cream to your bowl and a handful of crushed tortilla chips...genius. If you want to go the healthy route, skip the sour cream and you still have a great bowl of goodness for very little calories.

Try this, you'll love it!
What is your favorite kind of soup?

  7. Hey Ally - I think you forgot the chicken! I saw the chicken in the picture, but am sure that it would taste good without it!
