Corn Tortilla Soup
- Soup:
- 2 onions, peeled and quartered
- 2 tomatoes, cored and quartered
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Toppings:
- 3 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch strips
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (about 6 ounces)
- 1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim Oaxaca cheese or reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese
- 6 lime wedges
- To prepare soup, combine the onions and tomatoes in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add the dried oregano, ground cumin, and minced garlic, and saute 10 seconds. Add pureed onion mixture to pan (mixture will boil vigorously), and cook 1 minute. Stir in Chicken Stock and salt; bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- To prepare toppings, place the tortilla strips in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350u0b0 for 12 minutes or until tortilla strips are toasted.
- Ladle soup into each of 6 bowls, and top with the baked tortilla strips, shredded chicken, and cheese. Serve with lime wedges.
