Chicken Tortilla Soup …just in time for cool weather!!! My kitchen smells divine. It’s easy …just gather all of your ingredients and put it in a large stock pot and let it cook…..2-3 hours.
I made several changes, since the batch was larger and I cooked it on the stove top. Trust me, you’re going to want more, so go ahead and cook it.
Simmer 3-4 chicken breast until tender. Once they were cooked, shred them with two forks. They were so tender, pulling them apart was easy. Reserve the stock to use in the soup. Once I decided to make it on the stove top, I increased the ingredients and the stock came in handy. Add chopped onion, seed and de-vein the jalapeño peppers( unless you want some kick, then leave some of the veins).
Two can of black beans and one can of chile beans. Any type canned beans will work. One large can of crushed tomatoes and 1 box of chicken stock and 1 can of tomato paste, and 1/2 cup salsa verde. Add 5 cloves of garlic minced, then round it out with spices and chopped cilantro and several torn corn tortillas. Add stock from cooking chicken. Cook away. That’s it. You may add more or less of any ingredient, to taste. Salt and pepper and spices…. when it’s done serve with your favorite toppings…sour cream, grated cheese, red onion and tortilla chips are my favorites!
Now, if you want to make everyone happy when they arrive home this cold evening…have Chicken Tortilla Soup simmering on the stove…you can’t go wrong…
