Chicken Tortilla Soup

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium white onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 jalapenos, seeded and minced
3 ripe medium tomatoes, chopped
1 quart chicken stock, recipe follows
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Canola oil, for pan-frying
8 corn tortillas, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 avocados, halved, pitted, peeled, and diced
1 cup shredded cheese, optional
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

1 lime, cut in wedges, for serving
Directions

Place a stockpot over medium heat and coat with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the onions, garlic, jalapenos, and tomatoes; cook, stirring for 15 minutes until the vegetables are cooked down and pulpy. Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 1-inch of canola oil in a skillet over medium-high flame. When the oil begins to smoke, add the tortilla strips in batches and fry until they are crisp on all sides. Remove to a paper towel-lined platter and sprinkle with salt while they are still hot.

Ladle the hot soup into 4 soup bowls and put a pile of shredded chicken on top of each. Top with the diced avocado and fried tortilla strips (and cheese if using). Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Hola.....agak terlambat N3 hari ini..ialah hari terakhir cuti..esok sudah hendak mulakan kerja...jadi kenalah pergi pasar..beli apa yang patut buat stok....apa pun kena masukkan juga N3 ini walau pun semua sudah sendawa makan tenagah hari tadi. Kalau saya tidak masakkan sekarang nanti pakai lupa aje...Pagi ini breakfast Mexico pula...tula awal-awal sudah sebut Hola...., saya buat sup ayam tortilla dan Orange cranberry loaf. Soup ayam ini adalah sup tomato yangdimasukkan cebisan ayam dan roti tortilla. Roti tortilla digunting-gunting memanjang dan masukkan dalam sup. Hem..sedap sup ini hendak-hendak saya masukkan jalpeno yang lebih daripada buat brioche hari ini..aroma dan rasa jalapeno menaikkan lagi rasa sup ini.

Mudah membuatnya, sedap dan mengenyangkan.
