Tortilla Soup

Tortilla Soup-The best in the world! So Easy---

Muy Bueno!
16 ounce can tomatoes
1 medium onion
cut up 2 clove garlic
4 tablespoons snipped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon sugar
8 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast cut up 2 or 3
*chipotle peppers and little adobo sauce
shredded Monterey jack cheese
avocados cut up
Tortilla chips
Sour cream
In a blender combine undrained tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and sugar. Cover and blend till nearly smooth. Put mixture into a large pot with chicken broth, chicken and chipotle peppers. Bring to boiling; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Put crunched tortilla chips in a bowl with cheese, avocados, and sour cream (omit if desired) . Ladle soup over; serve immediately. Makes 8 or 10 servings.
* I'm sure people are wondering what is a chipolte pepper. It is a smoked jalapeƱo. It is usually found in adobo sauce. Do not think the soup will taste good without it. It is the reason why this soup recipe is so good. San Marcos Brand Chipolte in the Mexican food section. Tell me what you think.
