I made a giant cauldron of my smoked chicken tortilla soup on Sunday. I smoke 2 whole chickens beer can style and that goes into my soup. It takes me all day to make it and I make a lot so that I can freeze some to eat later.
Not to pat myself on the back too much... but I feel confident that this is some of the finest chicken tortilla soup anyone could ever hope to eat.
I warmed some of it up last night and sent this pic to one of my sons trying to get his attention. This is one of his favorite foods.
I toast real corn tortillas and cut them into stripes that I add into each bowl of soup. It really doesn't need anything else, but I top my bowl with some fresh avacado, tomato, scallions, fresh hot peppers and fresh cilantro. I skip the cheese topping on this but others in my fam add that too as well as sour cream.
