Directions:
1. Make chicken stock first. The richness of this soup comes from cooking the chicken drumsticks until the stock is nice and dark approximately 30min- 1 hour. You cook the stock with all the ingredients until it boils and then bring it down to a simmer for an additional 30 minutes. And half way through this cooking time add the chicken breast. Adjust seasoning if more salt or pepper is needed.
2. Tortilla Soup Ingredients
3. Next step is to saute the tortilla soup ingredients for about 10 minutes. First add oil to pan and saute with garlic, onion, pepper, chile, tomatoes and chile and cumin powder. Second blend your saute until smooth. Now combine about 4-5 cups of your chicken broth into the pan with your saute ingredients. I usually add a veggie mix of corn, carrots and peas. Cook for an additional 20-30 minutes. To garnish add diced chicken breasts, Tortilla Chips or tostadas,Cilantro, Avocado, Sour cream or Crema Fresca, 4 -cheese mix or Queso fresco,Lemon juice (to taste)
