How to make Chicken Tortilla Soup


This is a very easy and delicious soup to prepare, as most people have these items in their pantries. My family and friends love it, and it is great as an appetizer, or a meal in itself, adding a salad to complete the meal. It is great to serve @ a party w/ a mexican or latin theme. Also, it would go great w/ sangria or a margarita.

Step 1: In a large pot over med heat, saute the chicken in the oil for 5 min. Step 2: Add the garlic and cumin & mix well. Step 3: Add the broth, corn, onion, chili powder, lemon juice & salsa. Step 4: Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 20-30 minutes. Step 5: Break up some tortilla chips into individual bowls and pour soup over chips. Top w/ monterey jack cheese, a little sour cream and some diced avocado.

Serves 4, and can be easily doubled.
