Chipotle Mexican Grill Chicken Tortilla Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup olive oil
    1 1/2 cups sweet corn (fresh)
    1 onion, diced
    6 cups chicken broth
    1 dried chipotle chile
    2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced
    3 roma tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
    2 small avocados, peeled, seeded and cubed
    2 limes, juiced
    salt and pepper
    1/2 lb fried corn tortilla strips
    1 lime, cut into 6 wedges
    1/2 cup sour cream
    1/2 cup cilantro, chopped, divided
Preparation
    Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or saucepan over medium heat. Add corn and onion; cook until lightly caramelized. Add chicken broth and chipotle chile; let simmer 20 minutes over low heat. Add the tomatoes, avocado, lime juice, 1/4 cup cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and discard the chipotle chile.
    Place one-sixth of the tortilla strips in the center of six soup bowls; ladle soup around the crisps. Garnish with remaining cilantro and sour cream. Serve with a wedge of lime.
    This is the exact recipe -- I prefer to put avacado in just before serving -- so it is not warmed.
