directions

  • In a skillet, cook the cubed chicken in olive oil and 1 tablespoon jalapeno juice until lightly browned. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a soup pot, combine the chicken broth, soups, milk, onion powder and cumin. Add the cooked chicken to the soup. Then add salt, pepper and enough jalapeno juice to taste. I usually use the entire jar's juice.
  • Just before serving, add the tortilla strips and cheese. For cheese lovers, top with more cheese. YUM!
  • You can also add additional ingredients to the individual bowls to change the flavor -- jalapenos, onions, sour cream, salsa or cilantro. It's your choice. Serve with your favorite tortilla chips!
