1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup chicken base
3 cups diced yellow onions
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons chili powder

4 quarts water, divided
2 cups crushed tomatoes

Recipe
In large pot, place oil, chicken base, onion and spices. Saute until onions are soft and clear, about 5 minutes. In another container, combine masa with 1 quart water. Stir until all lumps dissolve. Add to sauteed onions and bring to boil. Cook an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add remaining water to pot. Add tomatoes and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add cheese and stir until it melts. Add chicken; heat and serve.
Garnish with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled tortilla chips, and salsa.
