My cousin's wife has brought tortilla soup to our family Christmas Eve party the last few years. We all love it! Thanks, Nicole.
1 bunch green onions
1 yellow bell pepper
1 green bell pepper
3 chicken breasts
2 T olive oil
1 can ready-cut tomatoes
7 1/2 oz diced green chiles
14.5 oz can chicken broth
4-6 c water
7 3/4 oz can El Pato tomato sauce (yellow can found in Mexican food aisle)
1-2 cans corn
Lime juice
2 cans olives
3 small avocados
1-2 cans black beans
Tortilla chips
Grated Colby jack cheese
Sour cream
Sauté green onions, bell peppers, and cubed chicken breast in olive oil. Add tomatoes, green chiles, broth, water, tomato sauce, and corn. Simmer 20 minutes.
Remove from heat. Just before serving, add lime juice, olives (I like to leave them whole), cubed avocados, and beans. Layer soup with chips & cheese. Top with sour cream and enjoy.
Recipe from Nicole Long, with my own alterations
This soup freezes really well.
