Lime Soup with Tortilla Strips and Chicken image

A very tasty, light, refreshing soup. I sometimes make this ahead and keep it warm in the crockpot. I also don't use nearly as much oil as the recipe calls for. From Bon Appetit.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 c olive oil
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 corn tortillas, cut into strips
6 c chicken broth
2 Tbsp fresh cilantro, minced
1 Tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 skinless boneless chicken breast, thinly sliced
1/2 c tomato, seeded and chopped
1/2 c green bell pepper, chopped
12 c white onions, chopped
6 slice lime

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 1 cup oil in medium skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add tortilla strips; fry until golden, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; drain.
  • 2. Mix broth and next 4 ingredients in large saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes. Add lime juice; season with salt and pepper. (Tortilla strips and soup can be made 1 day ahead. Store strips airtight at room temperature. Cover soup and chill; rewarm before continuing.)
  • 3. Meanwhile, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet; sauté 3 minutes. Add tomato, bell pepper and onion. Sauté until chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes longer.
  • 4. Place 1 lime slice in each of 6 bowls. Ladle soup over. Mound tortilla strips and chicken mixture in center of each.
