Chicken Tortilla Soup

Submitted by: Kristl

2 T. olive oil
1 clove garlic crushed

8 cups chicken broth
3 cups salsa
1 cup cilantro
1-2 cans of black beans (depends on preference)
1-3 cups cooked chicken (or pork, beef, etc...)
handful of crushed tortilla chips


In a large pot saute garlic with olive oil. Add all other ingredients, simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve with sour cream, grated cheese, more tortilla chips and avocado.

The original recipe also calls for 1 medium chopped onion- I don't like onion, so I skip it. The original also calls for 4 cups of crushed tortilla chips, this will make the soup thicker and it's good this way. I just do a handful so you can get the tortilla chip taste, but it will be healthier.
