Tortilla Soup Recipe

I have never made this soup before, but I did try it once last month. I only had a taste because of the chicken (I've stopped eating meat as of August) But tonight, I'm eating it. It just sounds so darn good!! Enjoy! I doubled the recipe BTW and I used all organic ingredients!

Tortilla Soup
Makes 6 servings

4 chicken breasts
1 garlic clove
2 Tbsp. butter
2 14 1/2 oz. cans chicken broth
2 14 1/2 oz. cans chopped stewed tomatoes
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1 Tbsp., or more, ground cumin
8 oz. cheese, cubed
sour cream
tortilla chips

1.  Cook, debone, shred chicken.
2.  Add minced garlic to butter in slow cooker.  Saute.
3.  Combine all ingredients except cheese, sour cream, and chips.
4.  Cover.  Cook on low 8 - 10 hours.
5.  Divide cubed cheese among 6 soup bowls.  Ladle soup over cheese.  Sprinkle with chips and top each bowl with a dollop of sour cream.

*My friend adds taco seasoning to the chicken. I added pepper, salt and a little paprika to it instead!

This is my favourite meal!! If you add a slice of avocado in the bowl with the cheese it adds to the "oomph" and fills you up longer. Also if you add just a teaspoon of chipotle sauce (Herdez makes a good can of chipotles) it lends a small amount of spice and more smoky depth to it :)

Hope you enjoyed it!
