No Copycats Here Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup

This chicken tortilla soup is a recipe that i came up with when i got tired of seeing all of the others that have you mix in packets of seasoning and really they turn our way too spicy to enjoy or they're so bland, you don't want to eat them. This is something my husband loves and he never liked tortilla soup before. Great on a cold day and even better when you get the craving. This is a healthy recipe that's nothing but homemade.

Steps

Add 1 tbsp of olive oil to your soup pot , let heat on medium heat for about 3 minutes prior to adding chicken.

Salt and pepper chicken breasts.

I like to cut the cooking time down , so i slice my chicken in half to thin it out.

Sprinkle with cumin on both sides and add chicken to the pan.

Cook until both sides are golden brown.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside for at least 10 minutes to cool prior to cutting in thin slices.

Cut up celery , bell pepper , onion and jalapeo and add to the pan on medium heat.

Let this cook for about 5 minutes prior to adding the corn.

Cut the corn off the cobb and add to the hot pan.

Let all veggies cook for 10 minutes on medium heat.

Chop up the two chipotle peppers and add to the pan with the one teaspoon of the sauce that covers the peppers.

Let cook for two minutes prior to adding the can of crushed tomatoes.

Let this all simmer together for 2 minutes and then add the box of chicken broth.

Add in 2 tbsps of the chopped cila.
