Ingredients

  • 6  corn tortillas (6 inch)
  • 1/4  cup vegetable oil
  • 1  small onion, chopped (1/3 cup)
  • 2  cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1  medium Anaheim, poblano or jalapeño chile, seeded, chopped
  • 1  carton (32 oz) Progresso® reduced-sodium chicken broth (4 cups)
  • 1  can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen® organic fire roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1/2  teaspoon coarse (kosher or sea) salt
  • 1 1/2  cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1  ripe medium avocado
  • 1/2  cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz)
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, if desired
  • 1  lime, cut into wedges

Directions

  1. Cut tortillas in half; cut halves into 1/4-inch strips. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook strips in oil, 1/3 at a time, until light brown and crisp. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels.

  2. Heat oil remaining in saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and chile; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in broth, tomatoes and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add chicken; heat until hot.

  3. Peel and pit avocado. Cut into 1-inch slices. Divide half of tortilla strips among individual serving bowls; ladle in soup. Top with avocado and cheese; garnish with remaining tortilla strips and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
