Servings: 6

 

Ingredients:

28 ounces broth (chicken or vegetable)

2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey (optional)

Cooking oil (I like coconut oil or light tasting olive oil)

About 1 ½ cups of corn kernels (I used a frozen baby gold and white corn mix)

About four 6-inch corn (or other gluten-free) tortillas, cut into wide strips (I use my kitchen shears)

About 2 cups of additional vegetables, cooked or uncooked (like diced zucchini, finely diced carrots, sliced or diced mushrooms, etc.; see notes)

1 jar (about 15.5 ounces) red or green salsa (see notes)

Equipment:

paper towels

sauce pan

pot

bowl

Cooking instruction summary:

In a large saucepan/pot, combine broth and salsa and bring to boil over medium-high heat. When the broth/salsa mixture reaches boiling, stir in vegetables. (If using fresh raw vegetables, you’ll want to add them at the same time as the broth/salsa mixture and cook a few minutes longer to ensure they are cooked completely before serving.)While the broth/salsa mixture is heating, cook tortilla strips in oil at medium-high until crisp and light brown (they cook quickly) and then remove to drain on paper towels.Reduce heat to a simmer and continue simmering until the vegetables are almost done/cooked through. Add chicken (or turkey) and cook a little longer until soup is heated through (usually about 5 to 10 minutes longer).Serve in bowls topped with tortilla strips, or with tortilla strips on the side, which you can break up more if you wish.Makes about six bowls of soup (soup mug size).

Food Trivia

Onion is Latin for large pearl. A basket of onions was considered a respectable funeral offering in ancient Egypt, second only to a basket of bread. Onions, with their circular layers, represented eternity and were found in the eyes of King Ramses IV who died in 1160 B.C.
