This is a wonderful full flavored tortilla soup. The mixture of chipotle in adobo sauce and chili powder gives this soup a great rich flavor. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 medium onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, sliced |
1 chipotle chile in adobo, minced |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
2 teaspoons kosher salt |
6 cups low sodium chicken broth, canned |
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed |
1 ripe tomato, chopped |
1 cup cooked chicken, shredded |
1/2 cup cilantro leaf |
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes) |
1 dozen corn tortilla chips, broken a bit |
lime wedge (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, chipotle, chili powder, and salt and cook until the onion softens, about 15 minutes.
2. Add the chicken broth, bring to a boil, reduce the heat slightly, and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
3. Add the corn and cook for 5 minutes more.
4. Pull the saucepan from the heat and stir in the tomato, chicken, cilantro, and lime juice.
5. Divide the tortilla chips among 4 warmed bowls, ladle the soup on top, and serve with the lime wedges, if desired.
