Chicken Tortilla Soup Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut tortillas into 1/2-inch strips using kitchen shears. Place on ungreased baking sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes until crisp. Watch to make sure they do not scorch.
Heat oil in a heavy 4-quart saucepan over medium heat. Add chicken; cook and stir 3 minutes. Add onion and peppers and cook about five minutes. Stir in garlic, chili powder and cumin. Cook and stir 2 minutes more. Stir in beans, broth and tomatoes. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
Divide tortilla strips among 4 bowls. Ladle soup over tortilla strips and top with cheese and cilantro. Garnish each bowl with lime slice to squeeze juice into soup, if desired.
