Recipe Introduction


Not too thick and heavy, not too chunky, but a light flavorful soup enhanced by the toppings.






List of Ingredients



• ½ cup diced onion
  
• 1 clove chopped garlic
  
• 2 Tablespoons of olive oil
  
• 4 cups of chicken broth
  
• ¼ cup red bell pepper chopped
  
• 1 Tablespoon of ground red chiles
  
• ¾ teaspoon of dried basil
  
• 15 ounces of tomato puree
  
• 2 cups of cooked and chopped chicken
  
• Salt and pepper to taste
  
• Toppings:
  
• Shredded cheese (sharp white cheddar or Monterey jack are good)
  
• Avocado chunks
  
• Sour cream
  
• Crunchy tortilla strips
  






Instructions



1. Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until soft, then stir in the rest of the ingredients except the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 30 minutes.
   
2. About 5 minutes before serving add chopped chicken so that it heats through.
   
3. Ladle into bowls and add desired toppings.
