One day I had made my rice with to much water and had no tomato sauce but had Rotel with it being too hot for my kids. I decided make into soup.

Steps

30 min

1

In a big pot add butter and diced onion letting them turn translucent. Add rice and let it brow. Once you see the rice turn light brown add 3 quarts of water, cumin, garlic, rotel, tomato sauce, salt and pepper (always taste and add more seasoning as needed)
2

While the rice is cooking. In another pot add chicken thighs salt and pepper. Do not throw chicken broth away. Once chicken is cooked cut into small pieces and add both chicken and its broth into big pot. Cooking for another 10 min
3

Cut tortillas into strips then fry in a medium size pan. Once fried put in a bowel with a paper towel. Sprinkle lawrys seasoning and lemon juice on the strips.
4

It's all done. Serve in bowels and top with tortilla strips. You can also top soup with shredded cheese or avocados.

Remember you can always use brown rice and chicken breast. I just like chicken thighs better. I have also added black beans before.
