We’ve  had a few requests for this soup so not to keep you waiting any longer . . . here it is and believe me this is worth the wait.   This soup is one of our family’s favorite things to eat.  It’s just so good, not too spicy, and so tasty- perfect on a cold winter day, but light enough to eat int he summer.  Don’t just take my word for it – this is one you need to make yourself – and why not its super easy.  Let us know how you like it!

Directions:                                            

In large pot, sauté onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon hot oil.  Add spices, then liquids.

Add chicken (raw) and simmer 1-2 hours, or until chicken falls apart and will shred. 

Add corn just before serving. 

Top with tortilla strips (or just crush tortilla chips) and cheese; add sour cream and any other favorites such as onions, tomatoes, and avocado.  My family likes to roll up tortillas and dip in the soup!
