try google
7 cups water


2 chicken breasts ¾ lb. ( if you like lots of chicken, add more )


1 package of Tuldys tortilla soup mix


1 can Rotel tomatoes and green chiles


1 can whole kernel corn


1 can cream style corn (this is optional but I always add it because it makes the soup a little thicker and makes more soup)





As for garnishes:


4-6 corn tortillas (sliced ¼ inch thick and quick fried til crispy)


Monterey jack cheese or cheddar/jack (shredded)


Sliced avocado


Finely diced fresh jalapeno


Chopped fresh cilantro


Lime wedges


Sour cream (this is where I like to put the sour cream in a squirt bottle and “paint” the top of the soup)


Sprinkling of Tuldys all purpose texmex seasoning (it contains pasilla powder which compliments this soup wonderfully)





Combine first 6 ingredients in good sized pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is done (25-30 min) In the mean time, fry tortilla strips ( you can use crumbled tortilla chips but they’re not nearly as pretty) Slice avocado and dice jalapeno if using. Chop cilantro if using. When chicken is done, remove from pot and place in the freezer to cool. When cool enough to handle, chop or shred into small pieces and add back to the pot. When ready to serve, place tortilla strips in bottom of bowls. Ladle soup over and cover with cheese. Garnish with your choice of extras.





If you like your soup extra spicy, you could always add ½ package of Tuldys “holy chipotle” dip mix. (dry) It would definitely add some fire, but I would only use half.
I did a search for tortilla soup on www.topsecretrecipes.com and found three of them. You can't get the whole recipe unless you buy it, but it's .79 cents. There are many others on that site as well, if you're interested.
(Chicken Tortilla Soup, not Chili's Tortilla Soup but it's close enough, right?)
