4 cups of chicken meat - You can use canned Cooked Chicken or if you have time – cook a whole chicken in a big stock pot. De-bone and save the liquid.
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
½ tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
¼ teaspoon Tabasco
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Optional:
6 corn tortillas, cut into strips
Optional Garnishes:
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Sour cream
Avocado, chopped
Tortilla chips
Instructions:
Simmer garlic, onion, and green chilies in oil in a large soup pot until onions are tender, about 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except seasonings and tortilla strips. Bring to boil. Add seasonings and simmer 1 hour. About 15 minutes before it is done, add the tortilla strips – if you want. Serve with a garnish of your choice.
This is going to make you a bunch of soup. A family of four can eat off this for about three days. If you don’t’ already have a runny nose from the cold weather, this stuff will take care of that – keep the tissues nearby! Yummy stuff for sure.
