Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my family's favorite easy, weeknight meals. In about 30 minutes you have a delicious, hearty soup that everyone will love.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 green or red bell pepper, diced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 32 oz box chicken broth
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels
• 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes
• 1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• juice of 1 lime
• crushed tortilla chips
• toppings of choice: avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, fresh cilantro

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and sauté the onions and salt for 3 minutes.
2. 2Add the bell peppers, garlic clove and cumin and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
3. 3Add the broth and remaining ingredients (except for the lime juice & tortilla chips). Bring to a boil, cover, then reduce to a simmer.
4. 4After 10-15 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breasts) remove the chicken from the pot and shred, using a fork or hand mixer. Place the shredded chicken back into the pot with the lime juice and simmer for another 3-4 minutes or until chicken is heated though.
5. 5Remove bay leaf, pour soup into bowls, and top with crushed tortilla chips for everyone to stir in on their own. Serve with desired toppings on the side.
