Soup Base

Method

Prepare the Soup

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell peppers, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until softened.

  2. 2

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices), chicken broth, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine.

  3. 3

    Incorporate Chicken

    Add the cooked shredded chicken to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Serve the Soup

  1. 4

    Prepare the Toppings

    While the soup is simmering, prepare your toppings by dicing the avocado and chopping the cilantro.

  2. 5

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls. Top each serving with shredded cheese, diced avocado, tortilla strips, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. Enjoy hot!
