Since many of you are still in the middle of cold, winter weather, I want to share one of my favorite soup recipes with you! My sister-in-law Carita first introduced me to it, but now it is on regular rotation in our house, especially on the rare chilly nights we have in Texas. We love it's fresh flavor!
1 can (14.5 oz) Tomatoes, undrained1 medium onion, sliced
1 clove garlic, pressed
2 T. cilantro
1/4 t. sugar
6-8 c. chicken broth
2 medium avocados, cubed (optional)
shredded cooked chicken breasts (quantity desired; I usually use 5-6)
salt & pepper
tortilla chips
shredded monterey jack & cheddar cheese or fiesta blend
In blender, combine undrained tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and sugar. Blend until chunky. (Not pre-chopping the cilantro, onions & garlic is a big time saver! The blender will chop it for you!) In a large saucepan, add vegetable mixture, shredded chicken & chicken broth. Simmer 20 minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste. To serve, top soup with shredded cheese & broken tortilla chips, along with avocado cubes if desired.
**This soup is also great to simmer in a crockpot on low for 6 hours.**

I made this today. It was absolutely delicious and very easy to make. Thanks for the recipe! (My picky husband loved it as well and even had seconds!)
Hello Amber! I am so glad you commented, and guess what? I have that little dipper crockpot - it came with my BIG one from Costco and I'm using it WED for chocolate for my BGirls. So funny - and it's a great tip. Thank you for sharing and visiting me. ♥
That has to be one of my favorite things to eat!
That soup looks so good, I'm definitely going to have to give it a try. Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to the question you asked on my blog about the shirt I made my daughter. I did sew around it with a stitch on my sewing maching! Besides going around the top of the heart, it was pretty easy!
That looks awesome! I love tortilla soup!
