"Cooked Well" Tortilla Soup Recipe

I found this soup base at HEB and a recipe, which I tinkered with to come up with the following. It is a delicious tortilla soup that freezes well and is sure to please.

“Cooked well” Tortilla Soup

INGREDIENTS:

2 jars Cookwell and Company Tortilla Soup (available at HEB stores and online)

1-14.5 oz. can petite diced tomatoes

1 package super sweet frozen corn

1 tsp. cumin (to taste)

1.5 pounds diced cooked chicken

2 medium avocados, diced

Garnish:  Shredded Mexican Cheese, crumbled tortilla chips

INSTRUCTIONS:

Combine pre-made tortilla soup base, diced tomatoes, sweet corn and cumin in large stock pot. Heat to boiling. Add chicken and reduce heat to simmer. Cook on low at least 30 minutes. Just before serving add in diced avocados and cook an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through.

Can be cooked longer on low in a crockpot for a make ahead meal.

Serve with shredded Mexican cheese and crumbled tortilla chips.

Serves: 8
