By CruelK8E

Ingredients

• You will need:
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium yellow onions, diced
• 1 large shallot, mince
• 3 garlic cloves, pressed with garlic press
• 4 roma tomatoes, chopped
• 48 oz (6 cups) chicken stock
• 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
• 3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• Garnishes:
• fried tortilla strips
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella
• 1 lime, cut into slices for serving

Preparation

Step 1

In a large dutch oven (or stock pot) heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat. Once heated, add the onion, shallot, garlic, and tomatoes. Cook, occasionally stirring, until the vegetables have cooked down to a pulp, about 20 minutes.

Next, add the chicken stock, cilantro, shredded chicken, salt and pepper and simmer for 20-25 minutes (so flavors can develop).

Lastly, ladle soup into 4 bowls and top each bowl with mozzarella, avocado, and fried tortilla strips. Serve with a lime wedge.
