Instructions
Soup
-
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
-
Prep for your soup: dice onion, mince garlic, cut (15) corn tortillas into 1″ squares, puree Mexican tomatoes in juice (if desired), cut (15) corn tortillas into 1/4″ strips & cut strips in half, cut the chicken into approximately 1/2″ squares, I use kitchen scissors for this.
-
Heat 2 tbs. of olive oil in your Dutch oven and add in the onion and garlic, cook on medium heat for approximately 2-3 minutes until the onion and garlic soften.
-
Mix in the corn tortilla squares, corn (drained), and 2 tbsp olive oil to the onion and garlic. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes.
-
Mix the chicken broth, chili powder, cumin, & sriracha to the soup base. Taste the soup and add more sriracha if you want the base spicer.
-
Add the raw chicken cubes and cook the soup on medium heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. While the soup is cooking bake your homemade tortilla strips and prep your toppings, see below instruction.
-
After 30 minutes, the chicken will be fully cooked and you are ready to enjoy.
Homemade Tortilla Strips
-
While your soup is cooking place a sheet of parchment paper on your baking pan and toss the tortilla strips with 2 tbsp of olive oil. Bake the tortilla strips in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes. You can mix them half way if you like. For additional crispiness broil at the end for a minute or two.
Toppings
-
While Soup is cooking prep your toppings to add to individual bowls of soup. I cut my avacado into bite size pieces and de-stem the cilantro. Everyone can make their bowl depending on their topping preferences.
