Lime Chicken Tortilla Soup

    Cuisine:

    This was really good. used jarred salsa which I can usually buy really cheaply so I am always looking for ways to use it. I love that its pureed. I can't wait to try it again with fresh lime juice.

    Lime Chicken Tortilla Soup, Chicken broth flavoured with salsa and lime, poured over tortilla chips and shredded chicken and garnished with cheese See my short cuts in the description Preparation time includes time to make the salsa – see my salsa Recipe #362382, This was really good used jarred salsa which I can usually buy really cheaply so I am always looking for ways to use it I love that its pureed I can’t wait to try it again with fresh lime juice , I loved the basic flavor of this, but the consistency was a bit thinner than I would have liked I probably needed larger tomatoes or more of them, just to create a bit more body Next time I will poach the chicken ahead of time Frying it took more time than I wanted, and the grease fire I created did not help (don’t ask) The lime juice at the end adds a wonderful spriteliness, and making your own tortilla strips takes but a minute and they are so superior to anything packaged I got three servings out of this, but we really like our soup

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Cut Tortillas Into Chips Size Strips. Heat Oil in Skillet Until Very Hot but not Smoking. Quickly Fry the Strips in Batches Until They Are Crisp, 1-2 Min Per Side. Drain on Paper Towels.

    2
    Done

    Fry the Chicken Breast on a Pan Until Done (i Like to Pour Some Lime Juice Over Chicken 1 Min Before Removing from Pan - It Adds a Nice Fresh Flavour to the Chicken). Shred Chicken as Finely as Your Time Allows. the Finer the More the Chicken Flavour Will Mix With the Soup.

    3
    Done

    Make the Salsa (tomatoes, Onions, Garlic, Jalapeno, Cilantro, Olive Oil, Lime Salt).

    4
    Done

    Put the Salsa and Chicken Broth in a Large Sauce Pan.

    5
    Done

    Bring to a Boil, Reduce Heat and Simmer, Covered For 15 Minute.

    6
    Done

    Puree the Soup With Hand Mixer or in Blender.

    7
    Done

    Add Lime and Salt to Taste.

    8
    Done

    Place Tortilla Chips and Chicken in Bowls, Pour Soup and Garnish With Shredded Mexican Cheese or Other Dry Cheese.

    9
    Done

    Tip 1 - If You Know That You Will Be Making the Salsa For the Soup Only, There Will Be No Need to Finely Chop Any Ingredients as It Will Be Blended Anyway.

    10
    Done

    Tip 2 - I Add More Garlic and Make the Soup Quite Spicy.

    11
    Done

    Tip 3 - the Tortilla Chips Can Be Omitted.

    12
    Done

    Tip 4 - I Have Also Used Canned Diced Tomatoes, Drained Well, Instead of Fresh Tomatoes With Good Results.
