Tortilla Soup

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 2 fresh jalapeño peppers, diced (and seeded, if you wish)
  • 2 quarts chicken stock
  • 1 28-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 1 pound of chicken breast, cooked and diced
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • juice of two limes
  • avocado slices, lime pinwheels, or minced fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat ghee in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat. Sauté onions until they are translucent, about 4 to 6 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and jalapeños. Sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant. Pour in the chicken stock and tomatoes and bring to a medium boil, cooking for about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cooked chicken, cilantro, and lime juice, and stir. Serve the soup topped with whatever garnish you prefer!
