Rafael's Southwest Chicken Tortilla Soup



This is my brother's recipe and it is yummy! He is not only a great cook but also a painter. Please enjoy the slide show of a few of his works. The following is his recipe for Tortilla soup. His posole' is delicious as well and I will add that in a later article.

  • 1 whole chicken deboned and shredded(for a quick dinner,purchase an already cooked chicken from your local market)
  • 1 large box of chicken stock (or 1 qt. water and 2 bouillion cubes or homemade broth)
  • 1/2 lb. diced carrots
  • 4 stalks celery diced
  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 1 bunch cilantro diced
  • 1 can black beans
  • 1 Ro-Tel original tomatoes
  • 2 small cans roasted green chile
  • 1 small can of corn (optional)
  • 3 Mission precooked tostada tortillas crunched up into pieces
  • 2 white flour tortillas torn into pieces
  • garlic powder, onion powder, salt to taste

First off, shred the chicken, then put aside. Saute all veggies in small amount of olive oil, when onions are translucent add all other ingredients except tortillas. Bring to a boil then turn down the heat to medium low and let simmer for twenty minutes. Then add the tortillas and let simmer for another ten minutes. Serve with garnish of diced spring onions, avocado, and shredded cheese (optional).
