A creamy, cheesy, chicken and tortilla soup with just a hint of spice. Easy to make too.
 

Ingredients

  • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 can cream of chicken soup (reduced sodium)
  • 3 cup fresh chicken stock or broth
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 cup shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese blend
  • 3 cup cooked chicken breast, torn into good sized chunks
  • 3 flour tortillas, cut into 1/2 inch strips
  • 1 cup frozen white corn
  • Sour cream and crushed tortilla chips to garnish
 
Method

In a 4 qt stockpot heat olive oil. Cook pepper and onion until translucent. Add to pot the next 4 ingredients and stir until smooth. Let mixture come to a low boil and gently stir in frozen corn and cheese. Add chicken pieces and return to a low boil. Finally add tortilla strips to boiling soup. Cook on low simmer, 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with dollop of sour cream and crushed tortilla chips.

 

Notes: The tortilla strips make this dish similar to a Santa Fe style chicken and dumpling dish.
