Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 5- to 6-inch diameter corn tortillas
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 14 1/2-ounce cans low-salt chicken broth
2 cups water
3/4 cup canned Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with juices
1 bay leaf
1 garlic clove, pressed
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
12 ounces skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
2 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush 1 side of tortillas with oil; cut in half. Stack halves and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-wide strips. Spread strips on nonstick baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet.
  • Combine broth, water, tomatoes, bay leaf, garlic, cumin and red pepper in saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken; simmer until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in green onions, cilantro and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with tortilla strips and serve.

This soup is a bit spicy for me, but I still really enjoy it. I just add a little less cayenne pepper.

This soup was a bit too thick for my liking. I think I'll add some more broth next time.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and it worked great. I also added a little bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick.
