  3. Add the remaining ingredients in the ingredients list up to and including the chicken (also include the bouillon water and the remaining water) .
  4. Cover and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about an hour.
  6. Add any additional vegetables that you want in the soup. (I usually add a couple of diced zucchinis.).
  7. Simmer until the vegetalbes are tender, about 30 more minutes.
  8. To serve: Make enough corn tortilla strips for the amount of servings that you are going to make. (I like a thick soup so I use two small corn tortillas per person).
  9. Slice the corn tortillas into thin strips and fry them in some vegetable oil until they are slightly crisp.
  10. Lightly sprinkle the tortilla strips with salt if desired.
  11. Layer the tortilla strips in bowls.
  12. Sprinkle with chopped avocado if desired.
