Ingredients

3 cups chicken stock
1 pound chicken tenders
1 bay leaf, fresh if available
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan
4 slices thick, smoky center cut bacon, chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 chipotles in adobo, chopped, plus 2 tablespoons sauce
1 (28-ounce) can crushed fire roasted tomatoes
Salt
4 cups lightly crushed corn tortilla chips
2 cups shredded fresh smoked mozzarella or smoked sharp white Cheddar, 3/4 pound
1 lime, cut into wedges
1/2 red onion, chopped
Freshly chopped cilantro leaves, for garnish

Directions

Bring broth to a simmer and add chicken tenders, poach 6 to 7 minutes with a bay leaf.

While chicken poaches, heat extra-virgin olive oil in a medium soup pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp then remove with slotted spoon. Drain off excess fat, leaving 2 to 3 tablespoons in the pan. Add onions and garlic to the skillet and cook 5 minutes then stir in chipotles and tomatoes.

Remove chicken from stock, dice and then add to soup. Pass stock through a strainer then add to the soup.

Place a pile of crushed tortilla chips in the bottom of each soup bowl. Cover liberally with smoked cheese then ladle the hot soup down over the top. Serve with lime, raw onions and cilantro at table to finish the soup.

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So easy to make and tasted so good. I added a little more chicken broth, and added jalapenos to the topping. Was not sure... what to do with the bacon pieces so I put them on top also. They added a great smokey flavor to the dish. If you want something fast and easy try this!!Read more

So delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this recipe! I make it a little bit more healthy by leaving out the bacon and adding the corn and black beans. I also... double the chicken and leave off the tortillas. It is a bit hot if you use all of the chipoltles. The cilantro, lime, sour cream and cheese are a great touch on top of the soup.Read more

It was my first attempt at making a soup, and if every one is this delicious and easy (in my dreams, right?), I will be... making many soups! There is a great kick to the soup and it is so tasty! Follow the serving directions as well to get melted strings of cheese within the soup -- YUMMYRead more
