Chicken Tortilla Soup

I had some left over chicken from a cookout on Mother's Day this past Sunday. Since, it's been kinda rainy and cold the last few days I decided why not make some Chicken Tortilla Soup! It ended up tasting wonderful! :) Here's what I had around and used to make it:

(Serves 4)

2 green onions (chopped)

1-2 regular carrots or 8-10 baby carrots (chopped)

½ onion (chopped)

1 cup chicken (shredded)

1 clove garlic or ¼ tspn garlic salt (minced)

¼ packet taco seasoning

2 cups or 1 can chicken broth

1 can diced tomatoes (I used hunts fire roasted diced tomatoes)

¼ cup milk

¼ cup cheese

1 handful tortilla chips (broken)

1 avocado (optional)

Steps:

1. Sauté onions, garlic, and carrots in sauce pan with a little chicken broth.

2. Add Chicken broth and boil for 10 minutes.

3. Add chicken and diced tomatoes.

4. Simmer for 10 minutes.

5. Add Taco seasoning and simmer for 5 minutes

6. Add broken tortilla chips, milk, and diced avocado. Simmer for 5 minutes or until carrots are soft.

7. Melt some cheese into soup and then ladle into bowl. Sprinkle some additional cheese and broken tortilla chips if desired :)
