Another Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

chefpam's Note:

Yes, yet another tortilla soup recipe, but mine is a bit different from what I had seen posted. Could be wrong, but decided to post so I would it where I can find it! The original of this recipe had a jalapeno chopped and seeded and a fresh tomato chopped. I changed it to a can of Rotel which was easier for me. Also, I add fresh chopped cilantro to my mood - usually a lot of it - I love it! Feel free to top with favorite toppings! Prep time is approx.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 8

• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 green pepper, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel Tomatoes
• 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
• 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups water (or more, depending on how hot you want it!)
• 1 1/2 cups tomato juice (I use V-8)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
• 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (I use Lea & Perrin's)
• 2 tablespoons steak sauce (if I don't have on hand, I use Allegro Marinade)
• fresh cilantro, chopped (to taste, I have also used about 1 tablespoon dried but add that when I saute the onions)
• 1 lb chicken breast, cooked and shredded

Add ins

• tortilla chips
• grated cheese (I use co-jack)

Directions:

1. Saute onion, peppers and garlic in oil until soft. Add all of the rest except your add ins. Cover and simmer for at least an hour after bringing to a boil. Break up tortilla chips or can use corn tortillas cup into strips. I prefer the chips! Top with cheese!

Great soup, especially for these first cool days of fall. I didn't have the tortilla chips on hand, but can't imagine this being any better than it was. Thanks for the great recipe.

I loved it! I omitted the steak sauce and beef broth because I didn't have any, but it came out great!
