Chicken Lime Soup

  
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

6 cups Chicken Stock
2 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, cut into thin slices
1 tablespoon Olive or Corn Oil
8-10 cloves Garlic, minced
1 small Onion, thinly sliced
2 medium Roma Tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1/3 cup chopped Cilantro
1-4 (depending on how hot you like it) Serrano or Jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Fresh Lime Juice
Salt and Pepper, to taste

4 corn Tortillas, cut into matchsticks for garnish (or use tortilla chips)

  
   
Preparation:  
   

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread tortilla slivers on a baking sheet and bake for about 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, garlic and hot peppers and cook for about 5 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in stock and remaining ingredients, except cilantro and tortilla strips. Simmer soup until chicken is cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in cilantro and adjust seasonings. Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with tortilla strips.
