Tortilla Soup in a Can?

My version of tortilla soup. This recipe is a variation that's a little more filling than some and most of the ingredients are canned. A great version of this classic for the lazy chef.

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 whole onion
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 whole grocery store rotisserie chicken
  • 1 small can diced mild green chiles
  • 1 14 oz. can mexican style (with onion and green pepper) stewed tomatoes
  • 1 14 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 14 oz. can whole kernel corn, drained
  • 1 14 oz. can chicken broth
  • 1 cube chicken boullion
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 whole lime
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro
  • 1 bag tortilla chips
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup cheddar/jack/ or pepper jack cheese, shredded

Directions

  1. Debone, skin, and cube the chicken. I use the rotisserie chickens as they cost as much as a raw fryer and I can prep them ahead and make up soups souper fast.

  2. Dice garlic and onion.

  3. Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add in garlic and onion and sweat until transparent.

  4. Open and drain canned vegetables, rinse beans. Add chicken cubes, green chiles, stewed tomatoes, black beans, and corn to pot.

  5. Pour in chicken broth, add boullion cube and 2-4 cups water depending on how much liquid you prefer. It should be enough to cover the veggies.

  6. Simmer for 10 mins. stirring occasionally.

  7. Serve into large bowls. Crumble a small handful of tortilla chips in the middle of each bowl, then top with fresh cilantro, a little shredded cheese, a dollop of sour cream, and a squeeze of lime juice.
