Chicken Tortilla Soup

This recipe came from: http://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/. I made it last night and my wife loved it. My daughter stopped by today and had two bowls of it. I will definitely make this again.  I added two cans of black beans to it.

Ingredients:

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 tsp. oil
1 onion, chopped
½ tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. ground cumin
3 (14.5oz) can chicken broth
2 cans corn (drained)
1/2 tsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. lemon or lime juice(or both!)
1-2 c. salsa
1 c. tortilla chips
½ c. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 avocado

Directions:
 
In large pot boil chicken for about 25 minutes or until cooked through. Remove chicken, cool, and shred. In a large skillet cook onion, garlic in the oil and add cumin. Cook until onions become clear. Drain water from the pot you cooked the chicken in add chicken broth and onion & garlic mixture. Add shredded chicken,corn, chili powder, lemon (or lime) juice and salsa to the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30-40 min. Top with corn chips, cheese, avocado, and a little sour cream.
