Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion (sliced thin (about 1 cup))
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1 quart chicken stock 4 cups, or turkey stock
- 2 cups chicken about 13 ounces, shredded, cooked, or turkey meat
- salt to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt and freshly ground
- 4 inch corn tortillas
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- cilantro for topping, chopped, fresh
- avocado Greek yogurt, sour cream, shredded cheddar or jack cheese, sliced, additional topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a 3-quart or larger pot, heat the oil over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chili powder, and oregano and cook, stirring often until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes and the stock, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil then lower the heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
- While the soup is simmering, brush each tortilla with the oil, then stack on a cutting board. Cut the tortilla stack in half, then into 1/2-inch wide strips.
- Arrange the strips on a sheet pan in a single layer (you may need to use more than one pan, or bake in rounds.) Season the strips with a few pinches of salt and bake until golden and crispy, about 10 minutes.
- Add the chicken or turkey meat to the soup pot and season with salt and pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the turkey meat.
- To serve, top the soup with a handful of tortilla strips and cilantro, plus optional avocado, sour cream and cheese.
