T&T Chicken Tortilla Soup, anyone?

Question

I'm looking for the best Tried & True Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe! I was hoing for a recipe you have made, like, and would make again. (Obviously I can do my own Google search for soup!)

THANKS!

This is the absolute best ever, and I've tried many. I served it in a restaurant I had years ago. After I closed my business, people called me for years asking for the recipe. Hope you enjoy. I posted it yesterday for someone else and we had it for dinner last night. This freezes very well. I sometimes double the recipe and dish up individual servings to freeze. Always great when that unexpected cold front hits.

Saute' one chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of oil.

Add:
2 cloves chopped garlic
1- 4 oz. can green chilies
2-15 oz. cans stewed tomatoes
1-can tomato soup
1-15 oz. can each of chicken and beef broth
2 tsp. worcestershire sauce
1 1/4 teaspoon tabasco or other hot sauce
1 tsp. each salt, pepper, cumin, chili powder, and sugar
1 1/2cups water
1 cup chopped cooked chicken breast

Simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. To serve, crush tortilla chip in your soup bowl. Top with soup, cheddar cheese, and slices of avocado.
