Chicken Tortilla Soup I
Me and my kids really liked this soup. I thought they'd see the green chilies & cilantro in there and wouldn't touch it but they did. They were careful but loved the chicken, corn, beans and broth. I used a box of chicken broth (no MSG) and added about a 1/4 cup water because I used 3 chicken breast instead of two. I knew my kids would be mostly after the chicken. I also didn't used hominy (didn't have it), added cumin, added Penzeys fajita seasoning, and little salt. I used a can of original stewed tomotoes since I didn't have crushed and just ran them through my Magic Bullet with juice. (my kids don't like chuncks of tomato but like the flavor). I didn't drain my can of corn either. Turned out great! I could have stood it a little spicier myself but I love heat, have to watch that with my kids though. I will definitely make this again, it wasn't too time consuming or difficult. Oh and too, many may be surprised to find that oregano is used commonly in Mexican dishes, subtly, not like it is in Italian dishes, don't be scared to add it, it doesn't make this soup taste like spaghetti I promise. Oregano is even one of the spices in my fajita seasoning along with basil, thyme, rosemary, marjoram, nutmeg, cumin, red pepper, celery, garlic, and s&p. Just an FYI...enjoy!
