Recipe: Fire-Roasted Chicken Tortilla Soup

Prep Time: 15 minutes 

Cook Time: 30 minutes 

Makes: 6-8 servings

I love a good soup but grew up only eating it in Fall/Winter. When I lived in Nicaragua where the temps are pushing 90 every day, I was surprised to learn that hot soup is a typical daily meal for locals. Topped with cool & creamy sour cream and avocado, this soup can be enjoyed all year round :D 

Ingredients: 

• 4 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil
• 8 corn tortillas, diced
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ cup chopped cilantro, divided
• 1 – 28 oz. can diced tomatoes (I use Fire-Roasted)
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 1 Tbsp cumin
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 bay leaf
• 6 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp or so of salt
• ½ tsp of cayenne pepper (more or less depending on your preference for heat)
• 4 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded or chopped (I used diced up rotisserie chicken for convenience) 

• Hamama Micros (I recommend Spicy Radish or Zesty Mix)! 
• Cilantro
• Green Onion
• Diced avocado
• Shredded cheese
• Sour Cream
• Mexican Hot Sauce
• 2 corn tortillas, sliced thin and fried crisp (or sub broken up corn tortilla chips, easy peasy)!

Instructions: 

1. In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. 
2. Add the diced tortillas, garlic, half of the cilantro, and onion, cook and stir for 2-3 minutes. 
3. Add the tomatoes & bring to a boil.
4. Add the cumin, chili powder, bay leaf, and chicken broth, and return to a boil.
5. Reduce the heat; add salt and cayenne and simmer for about 30 minutes.  Remove the bay leaf and stir in the cooked chicken and remaining cilantro; continue to simmer softly until chicken is warmed through.
6. Ladle soup into serving bowls & garnish 

 Tip: if you’re going to make the soup earlier in the day, plan on it thickening up a little bit because of the starch in the corn tortillas. You may need to add a bit more chicken broth at the end to thin it out for serving.

Enjoy!!  Allie
