CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
This is Ali's all-time favorite soup, and it's delicious! This was the first dish she cooked for date night. Tortilla soup is fortified with spices and herbs. It is also thickened with tortillas, which is a great technique to know. Techniques for soup thickening vary from roux, to rice, to this technique of using tortillas. Still other soups are thickened with bread or potato, but the tortillas give it a full mouthfeel. It's a great cooking lesson that yields a delicious dish.

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven over medium heat, cook the onion, carrot and celery in the 2 tablespoons olive oil, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until soft.
- Add the garlic, chile powder, oregano, cumin and black pepper. Stir for 3 to 4 minutes, being careful not to burn the dry ingredients. Add more oil if needed.
- Add the chicken stock and salt, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Toast the 2 tortillas over a burner flame until slightly charred. Tear into pieces and place in a blender jar, then ladle in about 1 1/2 cups (355 ml) of the hot soup from the pot. Carefully blend until smooth and return to the soup pot. (See Cook's Note.)
- Add the roasted chicken to the soup and let simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Just before serving, add the lime juice and cilantro. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve topped with lots of chopped avocado, shredded cheese, fried tortilla strips and lime wedges.

I have made multiple different chicken tortilla soups, but this one came out so good I want to remember how I made it! I wasn't measuring things when I made this, so these are approximate.

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
I perfected this recipe by "tweaking" to figure out a copycat recipe of Max and Erma's Chicken Tortilla Soup. It tastes so similar, and even if you haven't heard of Max and Erma's (it's a chain but only in certain areas), well, it's so yummy I just had to share it with the world. I usually throw everything into a slow cooker (my go-to method of making soups), but I'm sure it could be cooked stove top as well. I also like trying different add-ins (such as black beans, pepper slices), but those aren't in the original. Enjoy!!!

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
We love most any kind of hot soup or stew on a cold winter day. One day I forgot to pull out something for dinner and this happy accident was the result of a trip to Big Lots to find things I could use to turn 3 cans of chunk chicken and a bag of frozen vegetables into a meal. Apparently with $5, a jar of salsa con queso, and a...
