The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe #104086
I'm in love with this soup!! A very good friend of mine made this for me recently and I fell in love. I'm very picky about my Tortilla Soup and this by far the best ever. She makes hers in the crock pot and I have to agree, that it's easy and tastes just wonderful!! Whatever you do, DO NOT skip the garnishes! They are the icing on the cake!

SERVES 6

- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 3-4 large tomatoes, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (I use the chipotle flavor)
- 1/2 teaspoon chipotle pepper (optional)
Garnish
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 avocado, chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, pulled from stem
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- 2 cups crushed tortilla chips
- Throw everything except the garnishes in your crock pot and let it cook on high for 5-6 hours.
- Dress with garnishes and give it a squeeze of lime (a must:-) and you're good to go!
- Enjoy!
- If you are not using a crock pot, saute the garlic and onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil before adding the remaining ingredients.
- Simmer for at least an hour so that the flavors mix together.
