This is my version of tortilla soup. I don't know how traditional or crazy it is, it's what my husband asks for when he's in the mood for some comfort food and I don't mind because it's easy and delicious.

3 chicken breasts
1 t. honey
2 t. sriracha sauce (or any hot thai chili sauce)
2 t. minced garlic
2 t. olive oil plus 1/4 olive oil set aside

1/4 t. pepper
1 anaheim chili
4 medium sized tomatoes
2 ears of corn
5 cups of chicken broth
a few dashes of tobasco sauce
1 corn tortilla cut into strips
1/4 cup chopped onions
2 t. chopped cilantro
1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
1 lime, quartered
Directions:
1. clean and rinse the chicken and chop into bite sized pieces
2. mix first seven ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate over night
3. Char the outside of the Anaheim chili, tomatoes and corn
4. Chop charred veggies into bite sized pieces, set aside
5. Heat a medium soup pot on medium/high heat and dump chicken, marinade and all into the pot and cook until half way cooked
