Dave'S Favorite Chicken Tortilla Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lb skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 chipotle chiles in adobo, minced (7 oz can, use some of the sauce also!)
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes (I prefer using a 16oz can stewed tomatoes)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
1 cup frozen corn
Toppings
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
tortilla chips
cheese (Colby, pepper jack or mozzarella all work great) (optional)
sour cream (optional)
avocado, sliced (optional)
3 cups short grain white rice (I like rice in all my soups, plus if you make it hotter this will help with the heat!)

Preparation

First get some rice cooking if your using some, just follow directions on the package or use a rice cooker like me.
1. Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and garlic and cook for three minutes, until the chicken is browned on all sides, stirring frequently.
2. Add oregano and stir to coat the chicken. Stir in the minced chipotles, tomatoes, broth and corn. Turn heat up to high and bring to a boil. Turn heat down to low, partially cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
3. To serve place rice in bowl. Ladle soup on top and add cilantro and chips and any other toppings you desire.
