This is my favorite tortilla soup recipe — quick, easy, light, and warming, with a zing from lime juice. <\/p>\n

I modified this recipe from a “version”:http:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/recipe\/perfect-tortilla-soup?autonomy_kw=tortilla%20soup found in the September 2005 issue of Everyday Food magazine. Our girls really like it, too — although we do get the occasional tomato hurled to the floor. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

h3. Tortilla Soup<\/p>\n

Feeds four humans — two full-grown and two pint-sized<\/p>\n

* 8 oz boneless, skinless chicken breast
\n* 5 garlic cloves, minced
\n* 1 t coriander (or cumin, if you prefer)
\n* 2 jalapeno peppers, minced, seeds and ribs removed (optional, and we eliminate this when serving to munchkins)
\n* 1 t kosher salt
\n* freshly ground black pepper
\n* 1 c (or more) frozen corn kernels
\n* 3 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped (or a heaping cup of canned diced tomatoes works in a pinch)
\n* the juice of 1 lime
\n* 1 avocado, sliced
\n* chopped cilantro
\n* tortilla chips<\/p>\n

Bring 5 cups of water to boil. Add chicken, garlic, coriander, salt, and pepper. Simmer chicken until done, 5-10 minutes (depending on the size of your chicken breast). Remove chicken to cool, reserve broth in pot.<\/p>\n

[At this point, in the Boyd household, we turn off the stove and take a walk to “North Park University”:http:\/\/www.northpark.edu\/ to pick up the Papa. :) It’s a nice breaking point if you need one!]<\/p>\n

Return broth to simmer. Shred or slice chicken into bite-sized pieces. Add corn and tomatoes; simmer for 2-3 minutes. Return chicken to pot, add lime juice, and test for seasonings.<\/p>\n

Serve garnished with sliced avocado, chopped cilantro, and crumbled tortilla chips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
