Tortilla Soup

I got this recipe from the Sisters Cafe and it is so so yummy. It makes a lot so I froze the leftovers so we didn't eat it everyday for a week and it was just as good a month later!

Tortilla Soup

1 T EVOO
1 large onion, chopped
1 can diced green chilies
1 lb chicken-cooked and shredded
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1 16 oz can diced tomatoes
1 can small white beans
1 can chicken broth
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 lime to squeeze over soup
salt and pepper to taste

In a large pot, heat oil and saute onion and chilies until tender. Add chicken and spices. Add tomatoes, beans and fresh cilantro. Add broth.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes or longer to bring out flavors. Ladle into bowls and garnish.

Garnish:
10 yellow corn tortillas, baked*
1 large avocado
sour cream

*Cut tortillas into strips using a pizza cutter. Spray with cooking oil (like Pam), sprinkle with kosher salt and bake in 350 oven until lightly browned and crisp.

Soooo GOOD!
