Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 teaspoons vegetable oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 cup diced tomatoes with liquid (from a 15-ounce can) 4 teaspoons chili powder Chicken Soup Base (10 cups broth and 4 cups shredded chicken) Coarse salt and ground pepper 3 corn tortillas, cut into thin strips 1/2 avocado, thinly sliced 2 ounces cotija cheese, crumbled (1/3 cup) 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves 1 scallion, thinly sliced Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large pot, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium-high. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add tomato paste, diced tomatoes and liquid, and chili powder and cook until most of liquid is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add broth and bring to a boil; season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile, on a rimmed baking sheet, toss tortilla strips with 2 teaspoons oil. Bake until crisp and golden, 8 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Divide chicken, avocado, cheese, cilantro, and scallion among six bowls; top with broth and tortilla strips. Serve with lime wedges.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/08/2016   I've made this soup three times and it's always a hit! Only thing I do differently is purée the tomatoes a bit as my husband doesn't like tomato chunks. I also think it's more flavorful this way.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/08/2012   Made this soup last night. It's is FANTASTIC! Light and satisfying. I did use bought stock and chicken breasts to speed it up. This will be made frequently in our house.  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/30/2012   I made this soup yesterday and I know it's good when my husband and nine year old repeatedly extolled its tastiness! I made the soup base from Lucinda Scala Quinn's Mad Hungry Chicken Broth Elixir and we did not add any cheese. It was delicious and will be a keeper!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       01/20/2012   Amazingly simple!!! and so fresh and delicious! Instead of making my own chicken stock, I just used some canned broth I had on hand and had my husband cook up some frozen chicken breasts. Great QUICK weeknight meal. (This is the quickest Martha Stewart recipe I have made YET!!!)
