Chicken Tortilla Soup (GF)

Ingredients

• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 1 onion, quartered
• 1 jalapeño, halved
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• corn tortilla strips and avocado for topping

Method

1. 1

   Broil the onion, jalapeño, and garlic on a sheet pan 5-6 minutes until lightly charred — this char adds a smoky depth raw sautéed vegetables can't replicate.

2. 2

   Blend the charred vegetables with the diced tomatoes until mostly smooth.

3. 3

   Pour the blended mixture into a large pot with the chicken broth, cumin, and chili powder, bring to a simmer.

4. 4

   Add the shredded chicken and simmer 10-12 minutes to let the flavors meld.

5. 5

   Serve topped with crispy corn tortilla strips and sliced avocado.
