Chicken "Tortilla" Soup
I made this for dinner one night to go with some simple burritos. I love love LOVE soup in the winter.
I took a recipe from an old cookbook I had -- that one just called for chicken broth simmered with tomatoes, cumin, salt, and pepper. F that I say! I also added a carrot, 2 stalks of celery, and onion to simmer with the yummylicious tomato/chicken broth base. The flavors of the veggies really mix together wonderfully. On top I added a few slices of avocado (obviously) and some chopped fresh cilantro. Cumin is really the secret ingredient here -- it is so spicy and flavorful! I forget the exact measurements but I think it was 4 cups of broth, and I used about 3 medium tomatoes. Salt, pepper, and cumin to taste.
"Tortilla" is in quotes because normally I bake a tortilla into little chips but I was too lazy to do so this time.
