How to Make Another Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
- Saute 1 medium onion, 1 bell pepper (any color), and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add 1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 4 cups of chicken broth, 2 cups cooked chicken (shredded or diced), 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for at least 1 hour. The longer it simmers, the better the flavors will meld!
- While the soup simmers, prepare your toppings and crush 1 cup of tortilla chips or cut 2 corn tortillas into strips.
- Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar recommended), fresh cilantro (as much as you like!), sour cream or avocado, and any other desired toppings like sliced olives or lime wedges.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
