RECIPE: Homemade (Anti-Tortilla) Tortilla Chicken Soup

You asked for it! Here’s the recipe for my Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup ✨🐓🥑

(Inspired by Jennifer Garner’s Pretend Cooking Show)

Every time I make this several friends reach out wanting the recipe.

Since I made it up in the aisles of Trader Joes, it didn’t really exist.

If you decide to give it a try, please please please let me know how it goes!

Ingredients:

-1 medium white onion chopped
-1 jalapeño
-3 cloves of fresh garlic
-2 organic chicken breasts
-1 container of Trader Joe’s “Organic Free Range Chicken Broth” (32 fl oz, comes in a box!)
-1 can of Trader Joe’s “Diced & Fire Roasted Tomatoes with Organic Green Chiles”

Toppings:

-Finely chopped cilantro
-Lime juice
-Munster cheese (if you’re feeling like a baddie!)
-Ripe avocado

Recipe:

1.) Chop onion and sauté in a pan with a tiny spritz of avocado oil with salt (I like it toasty - aka until it’s dark brown on some parts.)
2.) Throw in a finely chopped jalapeño and 3 cloves of very very finely chopped garlic about half way through.
3.) Add in the can of fire roasted tomatoes & green chile and keep on simmer. 
4.) Trim off any remaining fat on the chicken breasts and cut into a few pieces. Boil in the broth until cooked through. Cool for a hot minute before shredding by hand and putting it back in the broth. 
5.) Combine the pan of onions, jalapeño, garlic, and tomatoes into the broth and shredded chicken. Stir well. 
6.) Serve in a bowl and top with fresh cilantro, a wedge of fresh squeezed lime juice, shredded munster cheese (unless you’re dieting lol), and avocado chunks. 
7.) Enjoy (and have a healthy lunch prepped for days to come!)
