Tortilla Soup
2 Tbs. olive Oil
1 cup chopped onions
2 tsp. chopped garlic
1 pablano or pasilla pepper seeded and chopped
1 ½ tsps. Salt
1 ½ ground cumin
½ tsp ground coriander
1 tbs. tomato paste
6 cups chicken stock
1 lb cooked shredded chicken
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 tsps fresh lime juice
Put the olive oil into a large soup pot on medium high heat, add onion, garlic, peppers, salt, cumin, and coriander and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the tomato paste, stirring, cook for a minute. Add chicken stock and simmer for 20 min. Add chicken and cook 5 minutes more. Just before serving add the cilantro and lime juice.
I serve mine with tortilla strips, avocado, lime slices and sour cream. Sometimes I add diced tomato, sweet corn, and black beans.
I use corn tortillas cut into strips and then fry them in oil, you could also use crushed tortilla chips.
