Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Mmmmm so Good, Guaranteed to Make You Feel Better!

I like thigh meat or breasts of we are Talking Chicken although Turkey would be Delicious,

so cook your chicken with some onions and veggies we like peppers sometimes zucchini,squash whatever i need to cook up or sneak in! I also put in a large can of stewed tomatoes.

Spices are the key i use paprika chili powder cumin and be generous with these use alot!

Do Not throw out the broth you made just separate the chicken so you can de- skin and de -bone the chicken if needed.

You use corn tortillas  as the noodles we like white corn tortillas  i slice them thinly by grabbing a stack of about ten slice with sharp knife about 1/4 to 1/2 inch wide,

I have about 2 inches of hot oil in my pan and drop the "noodles" in stir them so they cook like egg noodles.after about a minute strain them then put them on a paper toweled  plate.

Garnishing is the Fun Part  you can use any or all of the following

                          cheddar cheese, sour cream cilantro, la cremea
