Steps

1

Preheat your soup pot on medium high. Add butter. Melt it down, and add the carrots, celery and onion. Stir down for 3 minutes.
2

Add garlic and cilantro. Stir another minute.
3

Add diced cooked chicken and spices. Stir another minute, coating the chicken with the spices.
4

Add tomato sauce. Let thicken for a couple minutes, then add the broth or stock. Bring back to a rapid boil, then set heat to low and simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes.
5

While the soup is simmering, fry tortilla strips at 375°F for about 1-2 minutes. Drain and set aside. Shred the cheese and slice the avocado.
6

After 30 minutes, check the soup. Add up to 1 teaspoon of salt, to your taste.

Garnish with tortilla strips, shredded Monterey Jack cheese and avocado wedges.
