Chicken Tortilla Soup


I love soup, and so does my family, which means that I make soup probably once a week, if not more.  Also, my favorite spice is cumin, and since this soup contains that fantastic spice, this dish is a favorite of mine.  Simple, healthy, and of course tasty. 




INGREDIENTS:

- 4 to 6 cups of cooked and shredded chicken (I cook mine like this)
-8 to 10 cups of chicken broth (I use this brand, or homemade)
- 5 carrots, diced
- 1 small onion, diced
-1 28 oz can of organic, diced tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt, or more to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- any toppings of choice (I like avocado, crushed beanitos chips, and cilantro for garnish)


DIRECTIONS:

1.  Place cooked and shredded chicken in a large soup pot.  Add broth and turn heat to high.

2.  Add all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil.  Once it reaches boiling point, turn down the heat and simmer, partly covered, for about 30-45 minutes, adding more broth if needed.

3.  If you like it spicier, just  add more cayenne pepper and cumin.  Serve topped with you favorite toppings.  


Approximately 5-6 servings
