World's best tortilla soup...seriously I shouldn't even share it

Everyone who has ever had this soup loves it. Make it just like I say at least once. If you modify it, keep it to yourself; it would break my heart to know 😉

Steps

1 hour 30 mins

1

Simmer first four ingredients over medium-low heat for a few minutes until onions are translucent. (Fresh green chilies are amazing but often add too much heat so be careful that they are mild if you use fresh.)
2

Add chicken, chicken broth, chopped tomatoes, and canned corn. ( this is the only thing I use canned corn for, you can use fresh or frozen but canned corn is sweeter so it is recommended)
3

Cover and Simmer for 30 minutes
4

Add cilantro and cumin. Simmer for 10 more minutes.
5

Place a handful of chips in a bowl, top with perhaps a couple tablespoons of cheese, and ladle soup over chips. ( I eat mine without cheese to cut calories, but the cheese makes it simply decadent)
6

Garnish with avocado and/or sour cream if desired. Add lime wedge and serve.

Every ingredient is crucial. If you don't like cilantro make a different recipe. I have never modified this recipe; it is simply too perfect as is.
