Middie,
Sorry to be so late in replying but here is the recipe someone gave me on here (no offense to Allen, because his sounds great too, and I thought it was his recipe, but it isnt) Will the original poster of this recipe please say who you are?
Chicken Tortilla Soup
In a large saucepan, saute:
1 chopped medium onion (about 1 cup) and
2 minced garlic cloves (about 2 tsps.) in
2 tbsps vegetable oil
over low heat for 5 minutes
Add:
1 four ounce can green chilies, chopped
1 15 ounce can italian-style stewed tomatoes (chopped with their own juice)
4 cups chicken broth
1 tsp lemon pepper
2 tsps worcestershire sauce
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin ( I omited cumin, dont like it)
1/2 tsp hot sauce ( I omited but added red pepper flakes)
Simmer for twenty minutes
In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp flour with 1/2 cup water and whisk into soup ( I omited the flour and water). Add 1 pound skinless boneless chick breasts, cut into thin strips. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir in 1/3 cup non-fat sour cream, salt, pepper to taste ( I omitted this part)
Here is a great tip from the poster of this recipe:
" I like to make my own tortilla chips for garnish. Cut 4 store-bought corn tortillas into 1/4" strips. Lay them on a baking sheet with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes." What I did was cut them into strips, then throw them in a pan with a bit of oil to brown them, then immediately top the bowls of soup with the hot tortilla strips ( they sizzle when you put them in the bowl lol)
Anyway, I love this soup, so does my husband. Thanks to whoever it was that posted this recipe.
