Chicken Tortilla Soup

Water Buffalo's Recipe


  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 4 cups chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Tortilla chips
  • Grilled bell pepper skewers for garnish (optional)
In a soup pot, melt butter.  Add chicken and onion and cook over medium heat until chicken is no longer pink, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Add spices, then flour, and mix well. Cook, stirring about 30 seconds.

Stir in stock and bring to a full boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.  Stir in cream.  Serve hot topped with tortilla chips. If desired, top with mini-skewers of grilled bell peppers.

Makes 3 to 4 servings.
