Best Tortilla Soup

Credit for this recipe goes out to my friend Kristen. She sent it as a picture of a print out from 2004 and guess what – the recipe still exists on the interwebs! I found it at https://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/the-best-chicken-tortilla-soup-104086

For any Instant Pot fans out there I think you could totally do this recipe in the pressure cooker too, just high pressure it for 30 min or maybe even less since the chicken is already cooked.

INGREDIENTS

1(46 ounce) can chicken broth
1(15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1(15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded (I use rotisserie from the deli)
2 anaheim chilies, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, diced
¹⁄₂cup diced onion
3 -4 large tomatoes, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced cilantro
1 tablespoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce (I use the chipotle flavor)
¹⁄₂teaspoon chipotle pepper (optional)

GARNISH

1cup shredded cheddar cheese
1avocado, chopped
¹⁄₄cup cilantro, pulled from stem
1lime, cut into wedges
2cups crushed tortilla chips

DIRECTIONS

Throw everything except the garnishes in your crock pot and let it cook on high for 5-6 hours.
Dress with garnishes and give it a squeeze of lime (a must:-) and you’re good to go!
Enjoy!
