1/2 cup diced celery
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium tomato, chopped
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 1/2 cups crushed unsalted tortilla chips
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup grated cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
Crushed unsalted tortilla chips

  • Bring chicken broth to boil in small saucepan over medium heat.

Add grated Jack and cheddar cheese and stir mixture until cheese is melted and well blended. Add chili powder and cumin. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover tightly and refrigerate. Rewarm soup over low heat, stirring frequently.) Ladle into bowls. Sprinkle each with some of reserved tomato and chives and crushed tortilla chips and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of tortillas to create a more flavorful soup. Corn tortillas, flour tortillas, and even whole wheat tortillas can be used.
  • Be sure to char the tortillas before adding them to the soup. This will give the soup a smoky flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to add other ingredients to the soup, such as beans, corn, or chicken. This will make the soup more filling and nutritious.
  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, or shredded cheese.
