This week I decided to make tortilla soup, which is one of the soups I order most in restaurants. I looked at a few recipes online, but I kind of made up my own recipe.
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts
1 medium onion, chopped
1/2 a green pepper, chopped
4 cloves of garlic
1 jalapeno, chopped
4 cans chicken broth
2 cans chopped tomatoes
2 little cans tomato sauce
1 can black beans
1 small package frozen corn
chili powder and cumin to taste
Method
1. Boil chicken breasts and shred with a fork. Set aside
2. Saute onion, garlic, green pepper, and jalapeno in olive oil until soft.
3. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
4. Add tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, corn, and chicken, and spices, and simmer for 15 minutes.
I was so hungry tonight that I forgot to take a picture. Oops. But, I served the soup with some chips and guacamole. The guacamole was easy to make. Just throw together a couple avacados, chopped onions and tomatoes, and lime juice, and mix in a bowl.

I have often told my friends that I could live on soup. Since I love soup so much, and I am trying to cook more at home and save money, I have embarked on the mission of making one soup per week for a whole year! That's 52 soups. (And maybe a few other homemade foods I try out!) Check in with my blog to see how it's going.
