Time 1h45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, chopped
3 -4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (4 ounce) can of chopped green chilies, drained
1 cup chopped fresh tomato
1 finely chopped jalapeno pepper (optional)
1 (12 ounce) can V8 vegetable juice (I use spicy V8 juice)
4 1/2 cups water
1 beef bouillon cube (I use Knorr extra large)
1 chicken bouillon cube (I use Knorr extra large)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
vegetables (such as zucchini,corn,kidney beans)
fried tortilla, in strips, for garnish
avocado, for garnish
shredded cheese, for garnish
cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat some of the water in the microwave until almost boiling. Add the bouillon and stir to dissolve.
  • In a large pot, saute first four ingredients until tender.
  • Add the remaining ingredients in the ingredients list up to and including the chicken (also include the bouillon water and the remaining water) .
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for about an hour.
  • Add any additional vegetables that you want in the soup. (I usually add a couple of diced zucchinis.).
  • Simmer until the vegetalbes are tender, about 30 more minutes.
  • To serve: Make enough corn tortilla strips for the amount of servings that you are going to make. (I like a thick soup so I use two small corn tortillas per person).
  • Slice the corn tortillas into thin strips and fry them in some vegetable oil until they are slightly crisp.
  • Lightly sprinkle the tortilla strips with salt if desired.
  • Layer the tortilla strips in bowls.
  • Sprinkle with chopped avocado if desired.
  • Ladle soup into bowl.
  • Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and cilantro and serve immediately.
