How to Cook Chicken Tortilla Soup

Last night, I cooked chicken tortilla soup which has been my most favorite Mexican soup since I had one at the Mexican restaurant in Bishop two years ago. I've made burrito at home recently because limes and cilantro were on sale at my local Sprouts, so it's perfect time to enjoy Mexican foods. When I make burrito, I also want to cook this soup because those ingredients are pretty same. :) Chicken tortilla soup is very nutritious and delicious. It's savory and flavorful. Today, I'm going to share how to cook chicken tortilla soup with you.

Ingredients (4 Servings)

1 tablespoon of oil
1 onion (chopped)
2 tablespoons of crushed garlic
8 oz of chicken (cut them into chunks)
2 teaspoons of chili powder
1 teaspoon of oregano
14 oz of canned chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoon of tomato paste
2 cups of chicken broth
14 oz of canned beans
1 tortilla (cut them into strips)
nip of salt and black pepper
some parsley leaves
1 lime

1. Heat the oil in a pan over high heat. Saute the chicken until golden on both sides.

2. Add onion and garlic and stir-fry them for several minutes.

3. Sprinkle in the chili powder and oregano and stir to coat the chicken in the spices.

4. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste and chicken broth. Simmer for 20 minutes.

5. Add the beans and tortilla and parsley. Season with salt and black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.

6. Serve it in bowl and squeeze lime into soup.

7. Enjoy!
