Servings: persons

4 tbsp olive oil
1 medium sweet onion (vidalia) chopped
8 clove garlic, minced
3 can green chilie
3 cup cooked, diced chicken
1 1/2 gallon chicken broth ( it's soup the exact amount isn't critical)
8 roma tomatoes, diced
2 can sweet corn (drained)
1 bunch cilantro
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 diced avacado
1 sour cream
1 tortilla chips
1 monterey jack cheese
1 lime wedges

1
Simmer first four ingredients over medium-low heat for a few minutes until onions are translucent.
2
(Fresh green chilies are amazing but often add too much heat so be careful that they are mild if you use fresh.)
3
Add chicken, chicken broth, chopped tomatoes, and canned corn.
4
( this is the only thing I use canned corn for, you can use fresh or frozen but canned corn is sweeter so it is recommended)
5
Cover and Simmer for 30 minutes
6
Add cilantro and cumin.
7
Simmer for 10 more minutes.
8
Place a handful of chips in a bowl, top with perhaps a couple tablespoons of cheese, and ladle soup over chips.
9
( I eat mine without cheese to cut calories, but the cheese makes it simply decadent)
10
Garnish with avocado and/or sour cream if desired.
11
Add lime wedge and serve.
12
Every ingredient is crucial.
13
If you don't like cilantro make a different recipe.
14
I have never modified this recipe; it is simply too perfect as is.
