Chicken Tortilla Less Soup

I make this soup all of the time and each time it is made differently!  Just depending on what I have on hand!  As long as you have chicken breasts, chicken stock, and some various veggies you are good to go!  This time Ihad yellow peppers, green peppers, onion, garlic, fresh cilantro, and lots of tomatoes!

This recipe calls for canned tomatoes but I always use FRESH!  Usually I can find them at the "sale" table at the farmers market! 

Recipe I used tonight:
3 chicken breasts cooked by oven or crock pot seasoned with Chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper.  This is also a great home made taco seasoning!
Oil (coconut or olive oil)
1 large onion chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic
1 green bell pepper
1 yellow pepper
(Usually I use jalepeno peppers or Pablano peppers but I was out)
6 cups chicken stock
2-3 large tomatoes diced
Juice of 1 lime
Cilantro (as much as you'd like)
Avocado and Cilantro for garnish



Bake or crock pot chicken breast, cool and shred
Saute onion, peppers, garlic in oil (coconut oil or olive oil) in large pot
Add chicken stock, shredded chicken, tomatoes, and lime juice
Bring to a boil & cook for 1 hour on med heat
Add salt and pepper to taste
Top with Cilantro and Avocado


ENJOY!
