Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken Avocado Tortilla Soup


1/3 cup chopped onion
3 cloves garlic
¾ tsp. cumin
¾ tsp. oregano
¼ tsp. pepper
8 cups Chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can diced green chilies (4 oz.)
10 corn tortillas
1 ½ lb (approx. 4) chicken breasts cooked and shredded
1 avocado
2 tbs. chopped fresh cilantro
Salt to taste
½ cup shredded cheese

Saute the first six ingredients for 1 minute. Add the broth, tomatoes, and chilies. Stack the tortillas and cut into 1/8 inch strips. Add the strips to the boiling broth. Simmer for 15 minutes or until the tortilla strips have thickened the broth. Add the chicken, stir in the cilantro and salt to taste.
Pour the soup into bowls and top with sliced avocados and cheese. Enjoy!

So ladies, let me introduce myself...I'm Amanda's mom, Erika, and I love this blog. Thanks for posting your great recipes and fun projects...it's as close as I get to a girls night out.

This is a little weird, I was going to do a post the said, "Hi, this is Amanda's Grandma J, and I love your blog. Thanks for the great recipes." When I read Erika's post, it looked so familiar, I thought I must have already sent the comment, but wondered why I would have mentioned a "girls' night out". After reading it again, under Ellis Family, I had to laugh. so here's my comment, and I hope you all are ok with my eavesdropping in on your blog. Amanda, was there a recipe with your cookies? It's not nice to tease us with pictures and no recipes! I think I can get most of the ingredients here for the Chicken Tortilla Soup. Thanks!
