I am wanting to make a chicken tortilla soup and am unable to find a good recipe, any ideas?Anyone have any good Chicken Tortilla Soup recipes?
Austin-Style Tortilla SoupThis tortilla-thickened soup combines packaged seasoned chicken strips, canned black beans, tomatoes, chili powder, cumin and a touch of honey.Ingredients:


鈥?1 Tablespoon olive oil


鈥?1/2 cup diced onions


鈥?1 teaspoon ground cumin


鈥?1 Tablespoon minced garlic


鈥?1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained


鈥?1 Tablespoon chili powder (such as Gebhardt)


鈥?1 Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro


鈥?2 Tablespoons honey


鈥?2 1/2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth


鈥?6 corn tortillas, cut into strips


鈥?1 1/2 cups packaged refrigerated cooked Southwestern-seasoned chicken breast strips, cut into chunks


鈥?1 cup drained canned black beans


Method:


Place oil in a Dutch oven and turn heat to medium. Add onions and cumin and saute for 3 minutes. Stir in garlic, tomatoes, chili powder, cilantro and honey. Add chicken broth; bring to a boil, stirring often. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes. Add tortilla strips to soup and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until soup starts to thicken. Stir in chicken and black beans; heat through.


Notes:


The type of chili powder recommended is the blended, salt-added kind. This soup is very flavorful, but not fiery hot. For a spicier soup, you can add 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of dried, crushed red pepper flakes.

It's not as good as I've tasted, but it's easy:





1 can of corn, drained


chicken, cut up


1 can chicken broth


1 can of garden salsa





You basically mix it together in a crock pot and let it go. It's easy, though it's not as good as I've tasted, like I said earlier.

You can make awesome tortilla soup from the liquid used to cook the chicken by adding left over shredded chicken, baked tortilla strips and diced avocado.
The best recipe I've ever tasted was from the Fruit Cookbook by Nicole Routhier. Alas, I don't have that cookbook, but if you ever find it or the recipe it's worth it. It's actually for Mexican Lime Soup, and it tastes just like the tortilla soup at Garcia's, if you've ever been to that chain restaurant.





If you feel like guesstimating the amounts, most of the flavors come from lime, garlic, cilantro, and jalapeno. It had a chicken broth base, with some tomatoes and onions thrown in. I served it with tortilla strips and sour cream.
