Rep Power: 0  | Chicken Tortilla Soup This has been a favorite of mine to make for friends and family for quite a while: 1 lb. chicken breast tenders (uncooked) 4 cups chicken stock 1 bay leaf 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 4 slickes thick, smoky center-cut bacon, chopped 1 onion, finely chopped 4 cloves garlic, chopped 2 chipotle peppers in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tbsp sauce 1 28-oz can diced stewed tomatoes (stewed with green peppers) salt tortilla chips shredded mozzarella cheese lime wedges fresh cilantro, chopped Bring broth to a simmer. Add chicken tenders and bay leaf. Poach for 6 to 7 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium soup pot or deep skillet over high heat. Cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon. Add garlic and onions to bacon grease and cook for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and chipotle peppers. Remove chicken from stock, dice it, then add it to the soup. Pass the broth through a strainer and add to the soup. Simmer for 5 minutes. Lightly crush a few tortilla chips in the bottom of bowls. Sprinkle mozzarella on top of chips, then ladle soup over that. Serve with lime wedges and cilantro as garnishes. I usually keep the bacon and use it as a garnish as well.
