Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup

this is my new favorite.

craig's sister Sherri made this over christmas and i fell in love.
we called her for the recipe and i made it the next week.
it got many compliments….which makes me happy…so i have to share!

it looks like a lot of ingredients
but it's just open and dump it out so it's a quick prep meal.

browning the onion is the hardest step in this recipe.

while the onions are browning you add everything else (except the chicken)
into a big pot.

but clearly you should use a bigger pot than i did.  
it was so close to bubbling over!
yikes.

after it simmers for awhile….40- 60 minutes…you can add you chicken.
and enjoy!

add chips, sour cream and cheese to make it extra yummy ( = fattening)
it is so good.
and spicy…it's got a kick.
i am eating some right now and my lips are burning!
mmmmmmm…..

my kids will not even begin to try this so more for craig and i…woo-hoo.
good luck with your kids!
recipe is in the sidebar album.

viagra online - Wow, I love Peking duck and never thought to make it myself, but you are always a source of inspiration. Can I just say that when I first saw that picture, I thought had a 6 pack, and was ripped! Regardless of the athletic inclinations of the duck, the final results look amazing.

buy propecia - This gets my vote especially because I am from the Caribbean where cooking veggies in coconut milk is quite popular.

star trek voyager - I love your blog so much, and there are just some differences with others’. Hope there will be more wonderful things in your blog. Happy every day!http://www.star-trek-dvd.com/star_trek/Voyager/index.html

jimaiemarie - oh my YUM. i have to try this asap! i love the pictures you posted, so tantalizing!! 😀

Wendy - This looks like something we would love. Soup is on the menu most days around here in the winter and I can always use a new one to try. Thanks for sharing Meg.

Donna - Hi Meg – this has nothing to do with your tortilla soup – but that sure looks good, I am going to give it a try.
Anyhow, I wanted your input on something if you don’t mind. I am going to make myself a little craft room and I was wondering if you could give me input on what I should plan to do in there. Do you have any tips for me? It will never be like your wonderful room, but I don’t know where to start.
You can email me at Bourgoinfam8@aol.com……….thanks so much.
Donna

cecilia - Hello
I just love your blog,I found it a while back & just not found it again, I am tagging it for sure this time! I have to say your pictures are amazing! So beautiful.
I just have a question about the MINT BROWNIES, I dont buy bars of baking chocolate, I do have alot of choc chips that I had bought in hopes of makiing alot of xmas cookies…. what would be the conversion of squares of chocolate versus chips? Do you or anyone know?
Thanks, I really want to make these, they look so delish!

Anna - Looks like a delicious soup; I’ll have to try that in place of taco soup (hubbys favorite) sometime. I love spicy stuff, but you can hold the onions.

Victoria - Mmmm this soup looks and sounds yummy!
Loved the realness of your “blah” post. I can relate and know I need to get up off my bahootie too! 🙂

Shannan - I have big plans for an All Soup Week next week, so this is perfect! Thanks for passing it along. 🙂

I am in LOVE with your house, neighborhood, etc.
Sigh, totally jealous.

mom - I’m glad you posted this so I don’t have to call and get the recipe. When you made it at Christmas it was super. Thanks for sharing it.

Staci - Looks oh so yummy! I’ll have to give it a try this weekend 🙂 In mourning right now over my Sooners losing, BIG SIGH! Ah well, it helps me keep life in the right perspective 🙂 Lots to be thankful for…even if there is no BCS title! Happy weekending to your family 🙂 (I’m POSITIVE my boys woldn’t touch the soup either!)

Andrea @ Big Creek Cottage - OMG….I can’t beleive this…my husband and I were just talking about this last night and were going to look up a recipe for this soup to make on Sunday! Wohoo!!!!!! You rock!

Amanda

Tami - This looks very tasty on my way to the store now lol!

Thanks for the recipe.

Jill - Oh this looks yummy!! It has been soup weather here in Houston!! Soup and chili… 🙂 ~Jill

Amber - I’ve been searching for a good chicken tortilla soup recipe. There’s so many out there and I never know which one to even try…so I just don’t 🙂 It looks yummy although I’m a little wimpy when it comes to spicy foods. I’ll have to give this one a try…thanks for sharing.

Jessica - Hi Meg. I’ve been reading your blog for about a week now. I got hooked, and I read every entry! I love learning about your family, and it excites me that you are super crafty. There is a band that I think you’d enjoy, and it’s safe for everyone’s ears. The band is called Enter The Worship Circle, and they sing beautiful songs to the Lord. It’s not cheesy in any sense. I bought Chair and a Microphone, Vol. 3 on iTunes, and have had some of the songs on repeat throughout these past few months. Hope you like.

katy - That looks delightful! I will def. try this with my family…I might lesson the spice, so the kids might eat it. I LOVE spicy though. Thanks for the recipe.

Suzanne - you know how i love, love your recipes! thanks for sharing another! it may be on the menu next week:)

It looks delicious. I may have to tone down the spiciness just a tad. I like spicy, but I don’t like my mouth on fire!
Blessings,
Lorilee
