Method

Soup Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, add the chicken breasts and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Shred the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly. Using two forks, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, green bell pepper, and corn. Stir to combine and cook for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Season the Soup

    Add the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Return Chicken to Soup

    Add the shredded chicken back into the pot along with the lime juice. Stir to combine and let simmer for 5 more minutes to meld the flavors.

Serve the Soup

  1. 6

    Prepare Toppings

    While the soup simmers, prepare the toppings by dicing the avocados and gathering the sour cream, shredded cheese, and tortilla chips.

  2. 7

    Serve

    Ladle the hot chicken tortilla soup into bowls and offer the toppings on the side so everyone can customize their own. Enjoy!
