Instructions

  1. Make the homemade broth by combining all ingredients in a large Dutch oven or Stock Pot over medium-low heat.  Cover and simmer for 6 hours, stirring occasionally.
  2. Taste and re-season with seasonings if needed/desired.
  3. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer.
  4. Let the broth cool for 10-15 minutes, then remove the fat off of the top of the broth.
  5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Line a baking sheet with parchment and coat it with olive oil cooking spray.
  6. Bake the tortilla strips by spraying both sides of each corn tortilla with cooking spray.  Cut the tortillas into thin strips.
  7. Evenly spread them on the prepared baking sheet; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper.
  8. Place into the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from the oven and let them cool.
  9. Meanwhile, cook the corn by heating a grill pan over medium-high heat, coated with olive oil cooking spray.
  10. Once the grill pan is HOT, add the corn.  Let the corn sit for 2-3 minutes without stirring; season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste, then stir and cook for another 1-2 minutes or until the corn is cooked through and has grill marks.
  11. To serve soup, ladle broth into bowls. Add leftover roasted chicken breast, grilled corn, and diced avocado to the soup, then top with tortilla strips, cotija cheese, and cilantro.
  12. Serve immediately.  Enjoy.
