Fantastic and Fast Tortilla Soup
I made this in about an hour (simmering time included) and it was some of the best tortilla soup I've had anywhere. Not braggin...just fact.
Yellow Bell Pepper - diced
Medium White Onion - diced
3 T Garlic - minced
3 T Olive Oil
Rotisserie Chicken (meat stripped off the bones and shredded/torn up)
2 - 32 oz cartons of low sodium Chicken Broth
14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes with jalapeno
Juice of 2 limes
1/2 cup chopped Cilantro
2 pinches of Cloves
Salt, Pepper, Cumin and Oregano to taste
Toppings -
Avocados
Shredded Quesadilla or Monterrey Jack Cheese
Store bought Tortilla strips or crunched up Tortilla Chips
In a large pot, sautee the yellow pepper, onion and garlic in the olive oil. Sprinkle with a little cumin and oregano while they are cooking. After onion is soft, add the rest of the ingredients (except the toppings, of course). I used about 1 and a half of the cartons of broth.
To serve, place about 1/2 of a diced avocado in a shallow bowl. Pour soup over avocado, top with shredded cheese and tortilla strips. :)
