2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 packages chicken tenders, 1 1/2 to 2 pounds
1 tablespoon coriander, a palm full
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves, 5 to 6 sprigs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large onion, quartered and thinly sliced
1 large bell pepper, quartered and thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, seeded and thinly sliced
1 (28-ounce) can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 quart chicken stock
1 bag white corn tortilla chips
1 cup shredded pepper Jack or sharp white Cheddar
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 lime, juiced
4 scallions, chopped
Handful fresh cilantro leaves or fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Heat a large skillet with extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add chicken, begin to brown 4 minutes, add coriander, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste, onions, bell pepper and jalapeno, season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Easy to make soup.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

We found the soup fairly easy to make. My husband liked it as is, I found it to be slightly sweet. Definitely add the 1 tsp... of cumin she did on the show that is omitted here. When we make it again I may add grill seasoning and red pepper flakes to the chicken while it cooks in the skillet for some added spice and heat.Read more

Love it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this serveral times now and it never fails me. I'm watching my calories so I omit the cheese, avacado and chips. ... This fills me up and is so satisfying, plus it is inexpensive. Read more

Incredible
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The first time my boyfriend and I made this soup we loved it! Then we decided to add our own touch to it...instead of the... tortilla chips we used flour tortilla chips, they are a bit thicker and do not become mush in the bottom of the bowl along with adding some flavor. We also dropped the avacado to reduce the fat content. I am not sure what the brand is but they are diced tomatoes that have seasoning in the can with them, peppers etc. (a yellow label on the can) they really add some serious spice and flavor. The best thing to do is make a double batch and freeze it in single servings not only to it great to take for lunches or an even quicker dinner but the longer that the flavor sit and meld together the spicer it gets and all the flavors really come out!

Needed something.....
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

i felt the overall taste was a bit lacking so added 2 tsp of cumin, 2 Tbsp of chili powder and a large pinch of dried... oregano. I also scaled back on the coriander and up'd the fresh cilantro as a garnish. We topped ours with the chips and also a dab of sour cream and jarred sliced jalapenos, i had to omit them from the recipe for the kids. I've made this a few times and its great!Read more

This Was Excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We all loved this soup. I only added one can of tomatoes and not as much broth as we like a chunkier soup. I added some... cumin as someone else suggested and also a bit of cut up chipotle pepper (since I did not have fire roasted tomatoes).. I plan on making this many more times. Very good. And so easy.Read more
