Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 clove garlic (finely chopped)
1 pound chicken breast tenders (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1/2 cup chopped onion (1/2 of one medium)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup water
1 14-ounce can chicken broth
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes (undrained)
1 15-ounce can Mexican style stewed tomatoes (undrained)
2 ounces shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
2 ounces crushed baked tortilla chips
Garnish: cilantro (diced)

Steps:

  • The first thing to do is to cook the onions and garlic to release their delicious flavor. Heat a large, high-sided pan, coated with cooking spray, over medium-high heat and add the garlic. Cook the garlic for one minute until it becomes aromatic.
  • Next, add the chicken, onion, and cumin , and cook an additional 4 to 5 minutes, or until onions are soft and translucent and the chicken is no longer pink in the middle. While cooking the onions and the chicken, toss them around the hot pan occasionally so that they cook evenly on all sides.
  • Next, pour in the water, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, and stewed tomatoes right into the same pot as the chicken and the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the soup for 10 minutes while all of the flavors blend together.

DELICIOUS CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP (LOW-FAT)



Delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup (Low-Fat) image

Once Fall turns to Winter, I love curling up with a hot bowl of soup and a good book with the snow falling outside. This soup is a twist on the traditional chicken noodle but simple & easy. If you plan on stretching this beyond one meal, add the lime juice to your bowl rather than in the entire pot. Edited to add: I made this over the holidays and for spice, used a can of diced tomatoes with Southwest seasoning and a can of Rotel with cilantro and lime. Very spicy!

  • Cut the tortillas into uniform 2- to 3-inch strips. Stir most of them into the soup just before serving. This is what makes tortilla soup tortilla soup! Turn off the heat and get ready to serve it up. Ladle the soup into a bowl, then add avocado, red onion, sour cream, cilantro and extra tortilla strips to the top. The more toppings on tortilla soup, the merrier.

CHEESY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP



Cheesy Chicken Tortilla Soup image

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.
