Preparation

Step 1

Directions
1. In a large, heavy saucepan, bring the broth to a boil, covered over high heat.
2. Meanwhile, scatter the tortilla strips on a toaster oven tray. Toast, turning the strips occasionally, until golden-brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Remove the tray from toaster oven and set the tortilla strips aside.
3. When the broth boils, add the chicken, chile pepper, and tomatoes and return to a boil. Remove from the heat.
4. Divide the tortilla strips, avocado, and cilantro leaves evenly among 4 bowls, mounding them in the center. Ladle the soup into bowls.
