From the kitchen of THE PUSHER
Smoked Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 gallon water
4 chicken bullion cubes or 2 TBSP chicken base
1 pound Smoked Chicken
1 cup diced white or yellow onion
1 diced jalapeno no seeds
1 diced green pepper
1/2 lb butter
3/4 cup flour
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 TBSP ground cumin
1 TBSP salt
1 TBSP white pepper
1 TBSP paprika
1 TBSP chili powder
4 6 inch fresh corn tortillas (diced into small pieces)
2 cups milk
Add water, spices, onions, jalapeno, green pepper, and chicken bullion/base to a stock pot over medium heat. In separate pot melt butter and add flour to make roux, remove from heat. When soup begins to lightly boil add the smoked chicken (make sure chicken is in small pieces). Cook for 15 minutes, lower heat and add the roux, mixing until roux is incorporated into the soup. Add the cheddar cheese and tortilla pieces to soup and mix until they are blended into the soup. Add milk and stir, cook for additional 15-20 minutes. Serve with a dollop of sour cream of tortilla chips on top.
