Tortilla Soup

I make this in the crockpot because i think its better if it cooks all day and I can make it when the kids are in school. You can make it on the stove too if you dont have 8 hours to wait. I just add shredded rotisserre chicken from costco or sams club.

Tortilla Soup

2 TBSP olive oil

1/2 onion diced finely

4 to 5 cloves of garlic

1 pablano pepper, seeded and diced OR one green pepper and 1 jalapeno, seeded and diced

1 1/2 tsp salt

1 teaspoon coriander

2 tsp cumin

cayenne pepper to taste (i use about 1/2 teaspoon if kids are eating it and more if they arent)

2 TBSP tomato paste

6 cups organic chicken broth (i like pacific brand from costco best)

2-3 chicken breasts

1/4 of a bunch of fresh cilantro, chopped finely

juice of one lime

tortilla chips (or make your own from corn tortillas)

Put Chicken breasts and chicken broth in the crockpot. Heat olive oil on medium high, add onion, peppers, garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Cook about 5-7 min or until the onions and peppers are tender. Make sure you stir often so it doesnt burn. Add the tomato paste and stir. Go add this to the crockpot. Cook on low for 8 hrs and then add cilantro and lime before serving. Add tortilla chips to each bowl and serve.
