Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 (1 ounce) slices smoked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (32 ounce) container chicken broth
3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes and mild green chile peppers (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 ounce) can whole kernel corn
3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, chopped, or to taste
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons dried cilantro
3 (8 inch) flour tortillas, cut into strips
1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
½ cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towel, reserving 1 tablespoon grease in the skillet. Add onion and garlic to the skillet; cook and stir until onion are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine chicken broth and chicken breasts in a large pot; bring to a boil. Cook until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes. Remove chicken breasts from broth; cool until easily handled.
  • Stir bacon, onion, garlic, diced tomatoes and green chile peppers, and tomato sauce into the chicken broth. Add corn, chipotle peppers, salt, pepper, cumin, and cilantro.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place tortilla strips on a baking sheet.
  • Tear chicken breasts into small strips; add to the broth mixture. Cook and stir until soup flavors combine, about 20 minutes.
  • Bake tortilla strips in the preheated oven until slightly crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Ladle soup into serving bowls. Top with sour cream; garnish with tortilla strips and Cheddar cheese.

This soup was a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out inedible.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I made a few changes to the recipe, but it still turned out great. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and added some extra vegetables.
