Chicken Tortilla Soup 1

This is super easy (love those kind) and pretty healthy too! (love those kind too)
No real measurements, just make however much you need.
Quick and easy.(this is a version of what is served at El Toro)
This is only one of my awesome Chicken Tortilla Soup recipes, click HERE to check out the other.

Ingredients:
Onion, chopped
Jalapeno, chopped (add seeds if you want it really hot)
Garlic, minced
Chicken broth, (low sodium of course :) )
Tomatoes, diced - canned or fresh
Chicken, shredded (already cooked)
Chipotle Chile pepper -found in spices-
(or you could get real, fresh, chipotle peppers, you'd have to get them from a Mexican grocery store most likely.. they may have them in cans, but be careful cuz they can be really hot)


What to do:
In sauce pan, saute over low heat in a little bit of oil - onions, garlic, and jalapenos.
Add a lil CC Pepper, and keep stirring until onions and peppers are somewhat tender.
***Your HEAT will come mostly from the CC Pepper. So don't be skimpy on the jalapenos. :) They're delicious! So start small with the CC, and add more later if you'd like it a lil spicier. ***
Add tomatoes.
Add chicken broth.
Add chicken.
Turn up heat and cook til hot throughout, or starting to boil.

Serve it up! Add some tortilla strips/chips, avocados and limes for extra deliciousness.



**For an example on measurements... For two of us, I used about 1/2 an onion, 1/2 a pepper, 1-2 garlic cloves, 2 cans tomatoes, 2 cans Chicken broth, and about 2 large chicken breasts cooked and shredded. Amount of spice depends on how spicy you want it.... I just add til it tastes delicious. :)**
