Libby's Tortilla Soup


Hey y'all! This is great on a cold, rainy night or when you aren't feeling to good. The broth has such great flavour. This recipe came from my sister-in-law, Libby.  I actually made it tonight and it was delicious!! The soup is serve with tortilla chips and garnish with shredded cheese and avocado.

1 onion, chopped
4 cloves of garlic
4 T butter
8-9  cups of chicken broth
3-4 lbs of cooked chicken (I usually use a rottisere chicken)
1 large can of corn (or use two regular cans)
1 can stewed tomatoes
8 oz can tomato sauce
1 can rotel
2 t cumin
3/4 t crushed red pepper
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped (no stems)

Saute onion in butter until soft. Add garlic and cook 1 more minute. Add remaining ingredients (undrained)  and bring to a boil. Immediately reduce heat and simmer 1 hour.
Serve with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or  sliced avocado.
