corn tortillas, cut into strips or buy tortilla chips to skip the first oven step (see instructions above) • chicken broth • skinless chicken breasts • large onion, cut into 4 quarters • peeled garlic cloves • Fresh cilantro. Separate the stems from the leaves. We'll use the stems to cook the chicken and the chopped leaves as a garnish • dried oregano • tomatoes, about 14 oz, any type: crushed, whole, diced... it doesn't matter because we'll put it in the food processor • chipotle in adobo sauce (chipotle is smoked and dried jalapeño pepper). The adobo is a spicy red sauce. Since the chipotle is smoked, it will give the soup a very nice but spicy flavor • half a fresh jalapeño, optional. I added some slices of frozen jalapeño and frankly, my soup is very spicy. I think I could have skipped this ingredient • vegetable oil (I looked for corn oil but couldn't find it) • -------------- Garnishes: •

avocados (California avocados are best—ripe but firm and fresh), peeled • lime or lemon juice (about 15 ml) • medium cherry or grape tomatoes, chopped • medium white onion, chopped • salt • fresh garlic, minced • sugar • jalapeño pepper, finely chopped (use less for mild heat, more for extra spice) • cilantro
