Chicken Tortilla Soup


Method:

After combining the chicken broth, green chillies, tomatoes with green chillies, onion, and garlic in a soup pot, add the shredded chicken to it. Bring this to a boil, and stir frequently.

Now reduce heat and simmer for about 30-35 minutes. As you add the lime juice, cilantro, cayenne, and cumin to this, simmer for 10-15 minutes. Cut the tortillas into 1/2 x 2-inch strips. Fry this in hot olive oil in a skillet until it turns golden brown. Than drain on paper towels.

Garnish with shredded cheese and the tortilla strips. Enjoy!!!
