Who doesn’t like chicken tortilla soup? Nobody. That’s who. So let’s make some delicious high protein, soup.
Step 1. Make start with my Taco Shredded Recipe
Step 2. Make the soup
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1-2 cans green chiles (these or these)
- 1 can crushed tomatoes (28 oz)
- 3 tbsp masa (more for a thicker soup) (Masa is corn flour, NOT corn meal.)
- 2 ancho chiles (dried poblanos)
- 2 guajillo chiles
- 1.5 lbs taco shredded chicken*
- 1 can corn (Or 2 cups frozen corn)
- 8 cups chicken stock
- Cilantro
Note: I usually make it with a pound and a half of taco shredded chicken for the kids and add extra chicken when I serve it for me. But you could start with more chicken if you like.
Directions:
- Sweat onion in 1 Tbsp olive oil (medium heat with a pinch of salt until soft and translucent)
- Add garlic and sweat another minute or two (don’t let it burn)
- Add green chiles and allow the juice to evaporate a bit before doing the next step, or it will clump.
- Add masa and stir until evenly coated
- Add tomatoes and then pour in chicken stock and being to a boil
- Rip up chiles and toss them in (or cut them with scissors)
- Add chicken
- Turn down to a simmer for 10 minutes
- Add corn, simmer 10 more minutes
- Add lime juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Serve with tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream and cilantro (Nonfat Greek Yogurt works pretty well instead of sour cream if you just have to up your protein)
And voila! Or should I say Olé! Chicken Tortilla Soup fit for a king with macros to boot.
