Recipe Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients :

• 1 large yellow or white onion chopped
• 3 clove garlic minced
• 1 carrot chopped
• 1 Poblano pepper chopped
• 5 corn tortillas cut into 1 inch pieces
• 3/4 cup frozen corn
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 can diced tomatoes 14.5 oz. can
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp salt or to taste
• 1 tsp pepper
• 2 tbsp olive oil or veg oil
• 4 cups chicken stock
• chicken
• 6 chicken tenders
• 1/2 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 3 to 4 tablespoons of olive oil or veg oil

Method :

1. For the chicken tenders, add all ingredients under chicken ingredients to a zip lock bag and marinade for 20 min minimum.
2. Saute chicken in sautee pan on medium high heat. No need to add oil, there is plenty in the marinade. About 4 min the first side and about 3 min the second until golden brown. Let rest for a couple minutes before slicing and dicing to serve over soup as the topping.
3. For the soup....Sautee in oil carrots, Poblano and onion on medium high heat about 7 to 10 minutes til translucent.
4. When translucent/golden add garlic, stir and cook for 30 seconds.
5. Add tomatoe paste and stir until incorporated into veggies. Add salt, pepper and cumin. Stir.
6. Add cilantro, chicken stock, diced tomatoes, corn and tortillas. Stir and turn to low medium heat. Cook for 20 min.
7. Turn off stove, using a hand blender, blend until desired consistency. I do it half way so there is texture. If you choose a creamier and smoother texture then keep going. You can also use a stand blender mixing in batches.
8. You can choose to top with these ingredients....sour cream, avocado, chopped cilantro, lime or shredded cheese and of course your chicken! You can even garnish with tortilla chips....soooo good!
