    Soup Ingredients:
    1 tablespoon LAND O LAKES® Butter
    1 medium (1/2 cup) onion, chopped
    1/2 to 1 jalape??epper, seeded, chopped
    1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic
    1 teaspoon ground cumin
    2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth

    Recipe




    Heat oven to 375°F. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter on both sides of each tortilla. Cut tortillas into 2 1/2x1/4-inch strips. Place on baking sheet. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until light golden brown.

    Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in 2-quart saucepan until sizzling; add onion, jalape??garlic and cumin. Cook over medium-high heat until onion is softened (3 to 4 minutes). Add broth and tomatoes. Continue cooking until mixture just comes to a boil (4 to 6 minutes).

    Reduce heat to medium-low. Add 10 baked tortilla strips. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Stir in lime juice.

    Place 2 cups soup in 5-cup blender container or food processor bowl. Cover; blend on Low until smooth (30 to 60 seconds). Repeat with remaining soup.

    To serve, top soup with remaining tortilla strips, shredded cheese and cilantro.

    Makes 5 (1-cup) servings
