In a large saucepan, saute:


1 chopped medium onion (about 1 cup) and


2 minced garlic cloves (about 2 tsps) in


2 tbsps vegetable oil


over low heat for 5 minutes until onion is softened.





Add:


one 4 ounce can green chiles -- chopped,


a 15-ounce can italian-style stewed tomatoes (chopped and with their own juice),


4 cups chicken broth,


1 tsp lemon pepper,


2 tsps worcestershire sauce,


1 tsp chili powder,


1 tsp ground cumin and


1/2 tsp hot sauce.


Simmer for 20 minutes.





In a small bowl, combine 4 tbsp flour with 1/2 cup water and whisk into soup. Bring the soup back to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.





Add 1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes.

I love to make my own tortilla chips for garnish, they are easy to make, low in fat and delicious.





Cut 4 store-bought corn tortillas into 1/4 inch strips. Lay them on a baking sheet with nonstick vegetable oil spray. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until they are lightly toasted and crispy. Sprinkle lightly with salt if desired. Garnish strips across the top of the finished soup with fresh coriander.

Ingredients


2 tablespoons lard


1 medium white onion, sliced


2 cloves garlic, peeled


1 tomato, roasted, cored and peeled


1 1/2 quarts chicken stock [preferably homemade]


coarse salt


4 to 6 corn tortillas


1/3 cup vegetable oil


1 to 2 dried chiles pasillas, stemmed, seeded and deveined


2 cups cubed Mexican queso fresco or Monterey Jack


1 lime, cut into 6 wedges





Method


In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of lard over medium-low. Add onion and whole garlic cloves; fry until deep golden 鈥?brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Scoop into blender or food processor, add tomato; process until smooth. Heat remaining tablespoon of lard over medium 鈥?high; when hot, add tomato mixture, stir constantly until thick and considerably darker, about 5 minutes. Scrape into large saucepan.





Stir the broth into the tomato mixture, partially cover and simmer for 1/2 hour over medium-low heat; season with salt.





If tortillas are fresh or moist, let them dry out for a few minutes in single layer. Slice in half; slice the halves crosswise into strips 1/4 inch thick. Heat vegetable oil in a medium-small skillet over medium 鈥?high. When hot, add tortilla strips and fry, turning frequently, until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Cut chiles into 1 inch squares and fry in hot oil very briefly, 3 or 4 seconds; immediately remove and drain; place in small serving bowl.





Just before serving, divide the cheese among 6 bowls; top with fried tortilla strips. Ladle on hot soup and serve right immediately. Pass lime and toasted chiles separately.
