Chicken Tortilla Soup

This was another soup favorite, but occasionally I would get heavy handed on the cayene.  So be careful, because sometimes the Rotel is hotter than you think.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

3 T oil                          

8 corn tortillas             

6 cloves garlic minced

1 medium onion chopped

½ bunch or more of chopped cilantro

1 28 oz can Rotel (I chop it in the food processor)

2 T cumin

1 T chili powder

¼ t. cayenne pepper

1 t. salt

4 cups cooked chopped chicken

8 cups Chicken Broth (I use Knorr’s Tomato Chicken Bouillion)

Heat oil in large pot. Cut tortillas into strips and fry in oil.  Add onion, garlic, cilantro and spices. Then add broth. Add chicken last.

Top with sour cream and extra fried tortilla strips.
