CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP WITH LIME
The fresh lime and cilantro in this zesty treat remind me of warmer climates-a nice bonus on chilly days here in northern Michigan. I lightened up the original recipe by baking the tortilla strips rather than frying them. -Marianne Morgan, Traverse City, Michigan

Steps:
- Cut tortillas into chips size strips. Heat oil in skillet until very hot but NOT smoking. Quickly fry the strips in batches until they are crisp, 1-2 min per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Fry the chicken breast on a pan until done (i like to pour some lime juice over chicken 1 min before removing from pan - it adds a nice fresh flavour to the chicken). Shred chicken as finely as your time allows. The finer the more the chicken flavour will mix with the soup.
- Make the salsa (tomatoes, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cilantro, olive oil, lime salt).
- Put the salsa and chicken broth in a large sauce pan.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, covered for 15 minute.
- Puree the soup with hand mixer or in blender.
- Add lime and salt to taste.
- Place tortilla chips and chicken in bowls, pour soup and garnish with shredded mexican cheese or other dry cheese.
- Tip 1 - if you know that you will be making the salsa for the soup only, there will be no need to finely chop any ingredients as it will be blended anyway.
- Tip 2 - I add more garlic and make the soup quite spicy.
- Tip 3 - the tortilla chips can be omitted.
- Tip 4 - I have also used canned diced tomatoes, drained well, instead of fresh tomatoes with good results.

Steps:
- In a large stock pot place the chicken and sprinkle with garlic salt. Add the water until its about 4 inches above the chicken. Wash the lime then cut it in half and add it to the pot. Bring water to a boil and continue until the chicken is cooked throughly. About 1-1 1/2 hours.
- Remove the chicken and let it cool. Remove the limes and skim the broth to remove fat. Shred the chicken after it has cooled off and set aside.
- To the broth add the chicken bouillon and let it simmer for a couple of minutes.
- Now add in your canned tomatoes and all your spices. I like to add in about 8 shakes of hot sauce (I use Cholula) Bring to a boil and add in the the zucchini and carrots and the shredded chicken.
- When the vegetables are done cooking your soup is done!
- Garnishes:.
- crumbled tortilla chips.
- shredded cheddar or montrey jack cheese.
- cilantro.
- sour cream.
- hot sauce like Cholula, Tapatio or tabsco.
- lime wedges.
Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables in your soup. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices.
- Use fresh lime juice instead of bottled lime juice whenever possible.
- If you want a spicier soup, add a jalapeño pepper or two.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.
