Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is one of my most favorite soups. It is perfect for a rainy day :)



Here is what you will need:
1 lb. of chicken. Uncooked cut into bite sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
1-2 Tbs of olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 or so chopped green pepper
1 Tbs minced garlic
4 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 Tbs ground cumin
3 Tbsp lime juice
1 Tbs cilantro
1/2 - 1 cup of salsa
1 can of corn
1/4 - 1/2 tsp of chili powder
sour cream, cheddar cheese and tortilla chips to top after soup is finished

Drizzle oil in pan and saute onion and green pepper. Season it with salt and pepper. Add minced garlic and cumin. Add chicken pieces and chicken broth. Bring to a boil for 3-4 minutes. Turn down the heat to Medium-High with a lid on the pan for 7-8 minutes. Make sure it slightly boils so that the chicken gets cooked. Turn down to Med-Low heat. Add corn, salsa, lime juice, cilantro, chili powder and cook for 30 minutes. When it is done, put in bowls and add cheese on top. Crush tortillas on top of cheese and put a dollop of sour cream on top.
Enjoy!
