  • 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth

Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, jalapeno, and red bell pepper. Cook until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes.

2. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, chili powder, ground cumin, and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

3. Add the corn kernels, black beans, and shredded chicken to the pot. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes, until the soup is heated through.

4. Taste the soup and season with salt and pepper according to your preferences.

5. Serve the tortilla soup hot, topped with tortilla chips, chopped fresh cilantro, and sliced avocado. Enjoy!

Tips and Variations

Here are some additional tips and variations to help you customize your tortilla soup:

  • For a spicier version, leave the seeds in the jalapeno or add a dash of hot sauce.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian option, skip the chicken and use vegetable broth instead.
  • Add a squeeze of lime juice before serving for a refreshing citrus twist.
  • Top your soup with shredded cheese or sour cream for extra creaminess.
  • Experiment with different toppings like diced tomatoes, green onions, or even a dollop of guacamole.
