Randy and I love soup, so we decided this winter to commit to making homemade soup at least once per week. We already have about 8 recipes we make all the time, but we have two large books of nothing but soup with hundreds of recipes to try. We have already picked out about 30, so we are ready to get started. Last week we made Chicken Tortilla Soup, we give it a definite "make again, make often." It will go in the permanent soup recipe book. This one Randy made.
CHICKEN/TURKEY TORTILLA SOUP
1 large onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
5 cups chicken broth
1 can tomato sauce (15 oz)
1 can (141/2 oz diced tomatoes with garlic and onion, undrained
1/2 bottle pace chunky salsa (mild)
1/2 bottle (small) roasted red peppers, chopped
3 cans (5 oz) cooked white chicken, or equivalent home cooked chicken OR turkey
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro or 1 teaspoon refrigerated cilantro paste (we used "Gourmet Garden" brand found in the produce section of Safeway and Raleys)
1-2 teaspoons lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
Crushed tortilla chips
Shredded Jack or cheddar cheese
If you like it spicier, add 1 chapped jalapeno pepper, 1 can green chilies, or hot salsa instead of mild to taste.
In large saucepan, saute onion in oil; add the chilies, garlic, jalapeno, and cumin. Stir in broth, tomato sauce, salsa, tomatoes. Bring to boil, reduce heat and stir in chicken. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
Add the ciainatro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Top with crushed tortilla chips and cheese.
