White Corn Tortilla Soup

We are headed downtown to Christmas Preview tonight so I wanted to have something warm and ready to eat when we get home. I love this recipe because it's fast and very easy.

Ingredients:

1 diced onion (I like red, but doesn't matter)
1 can diced jalapenos
2 cubes garlic
12 cups chicken broth
3 diced chicken breasts
8 diced tomatoes (roma, hot house, on-the-vine; any will work)
3 cups white corn--I use frozen
4 limes
Olive oil
salt
pepper

Toppings:

Cilantro
Feta Cheese
Diced Avocado
Crushed tortilla chips
Additional diced limes


Directions:

Saute onion, garlic and jalapenos in olive oil. I use a little less than half the can of jalapenos. Use more or less depending on how spicy you want it. Saute until the onions start turning clear, you don't want them undercooked and crunchy.

Pour in 12 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add in diced chicken and allow to boil for 10 minutes until chicken is thoroughly cooked.





Add in 3 cups of frozen corn and boil for another five minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add in diced tomatoes. Squeeze in 2-3 limes and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve warm with toppings. Enjoy!

*I'll post a finished picture once we serve it up!
