In The Process

My Favorite Soup

I just had to post this soup recipe.  This is my all time favorite soup.  I could eat it all myself.  We actually had this last week and I think I did eat most of it.  It is too spicy for my kids and never spicy enough for my husband.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

1 med onion, chopped

2 garlic cloves, minced

2T olive oil

4oz can green chilies, chopped

15oz can Mexican style tomatoes, not drained

4c. chicken broth

1t. lemon pepper

2t. Worcestershire sauce

1t. chili powder

1t. ground cumin

1t. hot sauce (I use Tapatio)

4T flour

1/2c. water

1lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into cubes

1/3c. sour cream

1 can corn, drained or frozen corn

salt and pepper to taste

Tortilla chips to crush on top

In a large soup pot cook onion and garlic in oil til onion is softened.  Add chilies, tomatoes, broth and seasonings.  Simmer for 20 min.  In a small bowl, combine flour and water til smooth and whisk into soup.  Bring the soup to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.  Add the chicken  and corn. Simmer til cooked through.  Stir in the sour cream, salt and pepper to taste and garnish each bowl with tortilla chips. 

Makes 7 cups, easily doubles and freezes well.

Yummy!

I've been wanting to try a Tortilla soup recipe; yours sounds wonderful! I think I'll test it out on my family.
BTW, thanks for the comment on my blog (5 Kids and a Dog). Apparently we live in the same city! :) April just isn't the same when ya look out the window & it's snowing.
