    List of Ingredients




    Soup:
    2 onions, peeled and quartered
    2 tomatoes, cored and quartered
    1 teaspoon vegetable oil
    1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    6 cups Chicken Stock or 3 (16-ounce) cans fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

    3 (6-inch) corn tortillas, cut into 1/4-inch strips

    Recipe



    Preparation
    To prepare soup, combine the onions and tomatoes in a blender or food processor, and process until smooth. Heat oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until hot. Add the dried oregano, ground cumin, and minced garlic, and sauté 10 seconds. Add pureed onion mixture to pan (mixture will boil vigorously), and cook 1 minute. Stir in Chicken Stock and salt; bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    To prepare toppings, place the tortilla strips in a single layer on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes or until tortilla strips are toasted.

    Ladle soup into each of 6 bowls, and top with the baked tortilla strips, shredded chicken, and cheese.
