Do you have a great recipe for chicken tortilla soup? Please pass it along : )?

I make all the soups at work. I had a special request for this soup. The kind he likes comes from a chain restauraunt so I'm pretty sure it comes out of a bag. Thanks in advance!Do you have a great recipe for chicken tortilla soup? Please pass it along : )?
Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup





1 pound chicken, cut into big chunks


1 can crushed tomatoes


1 10 oz. can enchilada sauce


1 4 oz. can chopped green chilies


2 cloves garlic, minced


2 cans chicken broth


1 tsp. cumin


1 tsp. chili powder


1 tsp. salt


1/2 tsp. pepper


1 10 oz. package frozen corn


1 can black beans


1 T. chopped cilantro


7 corn tortillas


vegetable oil





Mix all ingredients (except tortillas and oil) together in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low 6 to 8 hours or high 3 to 4 hours. Remove chicken chunks about an hour before serving and shred - return to crock pot. (You can actually cook and shred the chicken before you put it in the crockpot, but I thought that cooking it in the soup would give it great flavor!)


Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly brush tortillas with oil. Cut tortillas into thin strips and spread on baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes or until tortillas are crisp. To serve, sprinkle soup with tortillas and top with cheese and sour cream.





I made this a couple of weeks ago and it was FABULOUS! I accidentally bought hot enchilada sauce and was really worried that it would be too spicy, but it seemed to lose a lot of it's ';heat'; from simmering so long in the crock pot. Happy Cooking!Do you have a great recipe for chicken tortilla soup? Please pass it along : )?

Chicken breast's skinned, deboned and cut into chunks


Green onions including tops (amount desired) ( I put 2 packaged with rubberbands)


2 cans of cream of chicken soup


1 16oz carton of sour cream


3/4 can of green chiles (I use 2 cans)


1/3 cup of chicken broth


1 pound of greated cheddar cheese ( I use sharp)


1 dozen flour tortillas





Combine all ingredients except tortillas, reserving part of the grated cheese. Spoon lightly into tortillas and roll up.


Put an extra can (not one of your two) of soup in bottom of 13x9 baking dish. Place tortillas seams down in dish.





Place remaining sauce over and some grated cheese, Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.





(I use more soup on top of tortillas with the cheese and use up all the filling in the tortillas)
Chicken Tortilla Soup with Chipotle and Fire Roasted Tomato





3 cups chicken stock


1 pound chicken tenders


1 bay leaf, fresh if available


1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan


4 slices thick, smoky center cut bacon, chopped


1 onion, finely chopped


4 cloves garlic, chopped


2 chipotles in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons sauce


1 (28-ounce) can crushed fire roasted tomatoes


Salt


4 cups lightly crushed corn tortilla chips


2 cups shredded fresh smoked mozzarella or smoked sharp white Cheddar, 3/4 pound


1 lime, cut into wedges


1/2 red onion, chopped


Freshly chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish





Bring broth to a simmer and add chicken tenders, poach 6 to 7 minutes with a bay leaf.





While chicken poaches, heat extra-virgin olive oil in a medium soup pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp then remove with slotted spoon. Drain off excess fat, leaving 2 to 3 tablespoons in the pan. Add onions and garlic to the skillet and cook 5 minutes then stir in chipotles and tomatoes.





Remove chicken from stock, dice and then add to soup. Pass stock through a strainer then add to the soup.





Place a pile of crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of each soup bowl. Cover liberally with smoked cheese then ladle the hot soup down over the top. Serve with lime, raw onions and cilantro at table to finish the soup.
I would go to www.epicurious.com to find one.
You might take a look at this. They have chain recipes.
I make a chicken tortilla soup, starting by mixing half chicken stock, and half tomatoes (chunky style tomato puree). Then, I spice it up by using taco seasoning. . .Add either chicken or beef, and some cilantro. . . . Top with sour cream, cheese, and some tortilla chips. . . .Yummy and so simple. . . .
