The use of convenience foods slashes the cook time for tortilla soup without compromising flavour. This is a delicious, slightly spicy, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Directions
- Place the salsa and chipotle together in a blender or food processor and puree.
- Add to a soup pot along with the oil and sugar. Turn the heat to medium, and simmer for about 15 minutes, until oil separates and salsa loses that “canned” flavour.
- Add chicken broth and simmer 15 minutes to meld flavours. This broth does not need lime juice because the salsa is quite acidic.
- Didive shredded chicken and crushed tortillas in four bowls. You may not use all the chicken.
- Ladle the hot broth into the bowls and then garnish each with avocado, feta and cilantro
