I posted on facebook this evening that I made a DELICIOUS pot of tortilla soup. I had so many people ask for the recipe and one person even recommended I post it here on my blog.
So here ya go!!!
I can't take all the credit though, my grandma (Mother) shared this recipe with me and it is sooooo good :)
You will need either a whole fryer or six large chicken breasts.
Boil the chicken in about two quarts of water. When it is done, remove from broth and chop chicken into small pieces. Set aside.
1 TBS oil
2 cloves garlic
1 medium onion
1 16 oz can of black beans (drained)
1 16 oz can stewed tomatoes ( I use Rotel tomatoes)
1 15oz can whole kernel corn undrained
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp black pepper
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 Tbs dried cilantro leaves
Salt to taste.
Sauté the chopped onions and garlic in the oil. Add this to your simmering chicken broth. Add the bouillon cubes, corn and stewed tomatoes, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Last add the chopped chicken. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes .
Flour tortillas, or chips, sour cream, Monterey jack cheese or cheddar, are
the extras. Picante sauce and jalapenos are for those that might like a little more spice.
Now make yourself a bowl, snuggle up with your sweetie, and ENJOY!
