Ingredients:

Serving

2 onions, chopped
2 large tomatoes, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
12 small corn tortillas
1/2 tbsp garlic salt
10 cups chicken stock , fat free and low sodium
2 lbs chicken breasts, cooked and cut into small bite sizes
1 cup cilantro (bunch)
1 cup warm water
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sour cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray 6 of the tortillas with spray canola oil and sprinkle with garlic salt. Bake 8-10 minutes or until crisp. Let cool and then cut into wedges or crumble.
While tortillas are crisping: Place onions, tomatoes, pepper and garlic into food processor with metal blades and process until well chopped.
Place processed vegetables into large saucepan/stock pan and saute over medium-high heat until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add chicken stock, chicken and garlic salt to vegetables and cook until flavors are well merged, about 10-15 minutes.
Bring soup to a boil. Cut remaining 6 corn tortillas into small strips. I cut my tortillas in half and then cut 1/4 inch strips.
Combine warm water and corn starch and add to soup, stirring until well blended. (used to thicken to a stoup consistency) - optional. You may omit this direction and have a brothy soup.
Serve in bowls with crispy tortilla strips on top and a dollop of sour cream. (I use fat free!).
Could leave out chicken and have a nice 1st course or add corn and black beans and have a nice hearty winter soup! Would be excellent with quesadillas on the side too!
