directions
- In a skillet, saute peppers, onions, poblanos, garlic and tortillas in olive oil for 5 minutes.
- In 6 quart stock pot add the skillet contents, chicken broth, canned tomatoes and chicken.
- Cook until vegetables are soft, tortillas are dissolved and the soup is slightly thickened. (4 hours on low, 2 hours on high in my crock pot).
- Add cilantro and frozen corn and cook until corn is thawed (around 15 mins). You can also add water or chicken broth if the soup is too thick.
- Top with crisp fried tortilla strips, shredded cheese, sour cream and avocado slices (to me the garnish makes this soup, I never make it without).
