Soup Base

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large pot, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the chicken, shred it with two forks, and set aside. Reserve the broth in the pot.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    In the same pot with the reserved chicken broth, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced bell pepper, and diced carrot. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  2. 3

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the canned diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

  3. 4

    Combine Chicken and Broth

    Return the shredded chicken to the pot and mix well. Let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 5

    Prepare the Soup for Serving

    Ladle the hot chicken tortilla soup into bowls. Top each serving with tortilla strips, shredded jack cheese, and chopped fresh cilantro.
