Answer 1

Tortill Soup Recipe

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.

Tortilla Soup

Like any soup, tortilla soup tastes best when made with fresh ingredients. Serve tortilla soup before a meal or as a main course.
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 corn tortillas, torn into spoon-sized pieces
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, puréed
3 large, ripe tomatoes, peeled and puréed
1/4 cup canned tomato purée
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon canned chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
8 cups chicken stock
salt and pepper, to taste
Garnishes:
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cooked and chopped
1 ripe Haas avocado, peeled, seeded and chopped
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
crispy tortialla chips, cut into strips like noodles.
The onion and tomato may be puréed together in your blender or food processor.
Heat the olive oil in a large soup pot. Sauté the tortilla pieces with the garlic until tortillas soften. Add the puréed onion and tomato and bring to a boil. Add the canned tomato purée, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, chipotle chiles in adobo sauce, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil again, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.

Check seasonings, and add salt and pepper as desired.

Serve hot, and garnish each serving with cooked chicken breast, avocado, cheddar cheese and crisp tortilla strips.
