Quick Tortilla Soup
- 6 cups water (or more)
- 6 tablespoons chicken bouillon (or more)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 -2 carrots or 2 cups baby carrots, sliced
- 2 -3 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
- 1 (15 ounce) can corn or 2 cups corn, frozen or fresh
- 2 cups salsa (your favorite)
- chili powder (your preference) or cayenne (your preference)
- 2 cups monterey jack cheese, shredded (more if you love cheese)
- 1 (8 ounce) bag tortilla chips
- OK so this is the best.
- This can be as big or as small as you like and after doing it about three times I stop using measurements and it always tasted great.
- You can add anything to this zucchini, broccoli and you really can't go wrong.
- As long as you have the bouillon, salsa, chicken, and chili powder this is good enough, everything else makes it delicious.
- Taste as you go, the best cooks do!
- Boil your water in a large pot.
- Add the bouillon a couple tablespoons at a time to make sure you don't over flavor.
- If you do add more water.
- Easy.
- Add the chopped onion and any other vegetables you want.
- This will change the flavor so don't get to eager on having the right flavor until the onion is in it.
- The color should be a medium yellow.
- Bring to a boil.
- Toss in your uncooked chicken.
- Cook for about 10 minutes.
- Boiling the chicken this way will help it to stay moist.
- After that remove the chicken and add the salsa and corn.
- Now you are going to sprinkle the top of the water with the chili powder.
- Once the top is covered you have enough.
- Don't go over board unless you have a burning desire to do so.
- As a precaution you may pay the price tomorrow.
- Take two forks and start tearing the chicken into shreds.
- Once finished place back into the pot and mix.
- Now ladle into bowls.
- You can crumble the chips, keep them whole, whatever and then add the cheese on top.
- Some people like chives and sour cream.
- Each to his own!
- This stores wonderfully and I would even bet you could freeze this.
- We just usually eat it for a couple of days.
- Enjoy this recipe!
