Okie dokie people sorry...

It's been a long week here. Texas weather is crazy freezing one moment, perfect day the next, then freezing again!!! Anywho we are back! First of all we want to give a shout out to Robin who tried the Guac this sunday and said it was delicious and to Terry who said she made the BBQ sauce and was awesome, as well as party guest at our super bowl get together who said they enjoyed the lil smokies too (FF)! Secondly I updated the cupcake post and added a picture for all those asking about the cupcakes.
OK im just yammering on so on to todays recipe:

Tortilla Soup

what you will need:
2 seeded soaked ancho chiles (i use poblanos when i can find ancho chile and don't seed them)
1 onion (i use a half a sweet onion)
3 or 4 LARGE tomatoes
2 garlic cloves; chopped
(i also add 2 or 3 jalapeƱos or seranos)
2 or 3 avocados depending on how how much you like in your soup
Chicken breast (i use H-E-B cilantro lime chicken)
one bag of tortilla chips (i use julios chips)
Chicken broth (it originally calls for 6 cups thats really soupy you can use less if you dont want it so soupy)
lime juice





Puree (blend to a liquid... At first I didn't know what the heck that was lol):
ancho chiles (i don't seed them you can if you wish), onion, tomatoes, (and jalapenos if you wish to put them in)

fry the two chopped garlic cloves in oil in a big pot

after you do that put in a pot and add chicken broth it says 6 cups but add as much as you would like if you like it really soupy then add a lot if not, then not that much

cook HEB Cilantro lime chicken in a pan then shred it or cut it up to your liking and put it in to the pot with the other stuff add some cilantro too and let simmer for a while.

then add salt

serve garnish with tortilla chips, cheese, avocado, a little bit of cilantro and lime juice

You just made tortilla soup!
