Instructions

  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium-high. Add half of oil to pan, then add chicken and salt.
  2. Sauté chicken until nicely browned on outside, but still tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and reserve.
  3. Add onion and garlic to pan. Cook until onions are soft and translucent, about 5 to 6 minutes.
  4. Add tomatoes and chipotles and cook another 4 to 5 minutes, or until tomatoes begin to soften and break down a little.
  5. Add chicken stock, chicken, tortilla strips back into pan and bring to a low simmer for 10 minutes.
  6. While soup is simmering heat a skillet over high-heat and toast tortillas on both sides to brown, slice into strips.
  7. Add tortillas to soup for the last minute of cooking. Turn burner off and add fresh cilantro. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if desired.
  8. Chef’s tip: Add diced avocado and a drizzle of Mexican crema just before serving. Also, for a homemade soup experience try using our "Grilled Chicken Stock" recipe.
