I love this soup. simple but great flavor to start off a Mexican meal. Adjust the hotness to your own likeing. Although the original recipe did not say cilantro I believe at least a 1/4 cup of fresh chopped cilntro will really enhance the flavor of this soup. Ingredients:
2 corn tortillas, cut into 2 x 1/2 inch pieces |
1/3 cup onion, chopped |
1/4 cup jalapeno pepper, chopped |
4 cups low sodium chicken broth |
1 cup shredded chicken or 1 cup turkey or 1 cup other left over meat |
1 large tomato, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
4 slices limes (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. Spray a skillet with lite olive oil and fry the tortilla strips until brown& crisp, drain on paper towel.
2. Spray the pan again and saute the onions& chilis until tender but not brown.
3. Add broth& turkey (whatever), cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
4. Add tomatoe, simmer 5 more minutes, stir in the lime juice.
5. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
6. Ladle into hot bowls, add tortilla chips and garnish with a slice of lime.
