Amy's Tortilla Soup Modified for This Amy's Tastebuds
My neighbor Amy might be one of the coolest cats in the world. She always seems to have her head on straight and is always there to be my sounding board when I feel like I am about to jump off a cliff. That my friends is a great friend and she is my neighbor! How lucky am I? To top it off the girl can cook and she is not afraid to try new things! When she made this tortilla soup once- I was like I have to have that recipe! Unbeknownst to her, I changed a few things and you guys can too! That is what is so amazing about this recipe; you can add or take away whatever your family's likes or dislikes are and the end result will be the same! Delish! Give this recipe a whirl and let me know how you like it!
Amy's Tortilla Soup-kind of!
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
1 Cup Chopped onions or as much or little as your family likes
3 garlic clove minced or 2-3 tablespoons of jarred minced garlic
1/4 of a jalapeno chopped
3/4 cup chopped really good cilantro (word of advice, cilantro is tricky. People love it or hate it. If you are making for a group of people that you do not know their thoughts on cilantro don't use that much. You will notice in my photo below I just use a little. If I am making for my family I use 3/4 cup for sure, but for friends, I only use a little.)
1/2 teaspoon oreagano
1/2 teaspoon cummin
8 cups at least, I like more of Chicken Stock
1/2 a beer
2 cups chopped chicken breast (I just buy a whole roasted chicken cooked at the store and shred it)
1 bag of frozen corn
1 cup of COOKED rice
1 1/2 zucchini sliced
1 can of rotel tomatoes ( I like the one with cilantro and lime for this recipe)
lawry's season salt for taste
Prep:
Heat your oil and add your onion and garlic and saute a minute or two.
Then add your jalapeno and cilantro and saute for a few more minutes.
Next add your spices and saute a little longer.
Then add your chicken stock, beer, vegetables, chicken, cooked rice, and more lawry's for taste.
Let simmer for at least 30 minutes longer is better.
Top with your toppings of choice. Some ideas include:
Avocado, Shredded Cheese, Jalapeno, Sour Cream, Cilantro, and Tortilla Chips.
That is it. So easy and so good! What are you cooking this week? I would love to know!
Bon Appetit!
XO,
Amy
