Lime Soup with Tortillas and Chicken


I saw this recipe on TV yesterday & decided to try it. I made some adjustments, so I'm giving you the Hilary Seiter version.

Saute: (in your soup pot)
1 small onion, diced
1 Tbs olive oil
1 carrot, peeled & sliced fairly thin

Then add:
2 cans chicken stock/broth
3-4 big Tbs lime juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 - 2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbs oregano
and boil til carrots are tender

Then add:
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
1 chicken breast, cooked & diced
a bunch of cilantro, chopped

Top with:
corn tortillas that've been sliced into strips & fried til crispy in 1-2 Tbs of olive oil (this is the best part). We also ate it with warm corn tortillas & it was good, but not as good as the strips.
The lady on TV topped hers with diced tomato & avocado.

This makes 2-3 big servings. The original recipe calls for 6 cups of chicken stock, but I didn't want to have that much left over.
