Ingredients

  • •2 tablespoons olive oil
  • •1 medium white onion, diced
  • •3 cloves garlic, minced
  • •2 cans (14.5 oz each) diced tomatoes
  • •6 cups chicken broth (gluten-free)
  • •2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • •1 teaspoon cumin
  • •6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • •1 avocado, sliced
  • •1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • •to taste salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1Heat olive oil in a large pot and sauté diced onion until softened, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  2. 2Add diced tomatoes with their juices and chicken broth to the pot. Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper.
  3. 3Bring the broth to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes to blend flavors.
  4. 4Add shredded chicken to the soup and simmer for 5 more minutes until heated through.
  5. 5While soup simmers, fry tortilla strips in a separate skillet with oil until crispy, about 3-4 minutes, then drain on paper towels.
  6. 6Ladle soup into bowls and top with crispy tortilla strips, sliced avocado, cheese, and additional toppings as desired. Serve hot.

💡 Keep tortilla strips out of tortilla soup until serving; simmered strips thicken the soup but eliminate the crisp contrast.
