A classic Mexican soup jazzed up by the addition of fire roasted tomatoes
INGREDIENTS
| 3 1/2 | Cup reduced-sodium chicken broth |
| 1/2 | Cup chopped celery |
| 1/2 | Cup diced queso fresco cheese |
| 1 1/2 | Cup shredded cooked chicken breast |
| 1 | Cup frozen whole kernel corn |
| 3/4 | Cup sour cream |
| 1 | Tablespoon minced garlic |
| 3 | Tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
| 1 | can (14.5 oz each) Hunt's® Fire Roasted Diced Tomatoes, drained |
| 1 | Cup chopped red onion |
| 2 | Teaspoon minced jalapeno pepper |
| 1 | Tablespoon Pure Wesson® Canola Oil |
| 2 | Ounce white tortilla chips, coarsely broken (2 oz = 15 chips) |
PREPARATION:
- Heat medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add oil, corn, onion, celery and jalapeno. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute or until aromatic.
- Add broth, drained tomatoes and chicken. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes or until hot and flavors have blended.
- Divide cheese equally between each soup bowl. Add 1 cup soup to each. Top with equal amounts of sour cream, tortilla chips and cilantro.
Cooking Tips: Queso fresco cheese may be found in most Latino markets or in the supermarket's ethnic/gourmet cheese section. Monterey Jack cheese may be substituted. For a restaurant-style presentation, make fried tortilla strips by cutting five (8-inch) flour or corn tortillas in quarters and then into 1/8-inch wide strips. Heat 3 cups canola oil in heavy-bottomed skillet 10 to 15 minutes or until oil reaches 350°F. Cook strips 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp; drain on paper towels. Season with salt if desired. Store leftover strips in an airtight container up to one week.
