I wonder if Jim's would give me their recipe?

Do you have a good recipe Panda Spur?

[JoeChalupa]

I love some good tortilla soup.
Even the six can method isn't bad.

# 1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
# 2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
# 1 (10 ounce) can chunk chicken
# 1 (15 ounce) can black beans
# 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers, drained

My sister's easy recipe and it's delicious.

All you do is boil a whole chicken; debone it
Cut into piece; not to small
Save all the broth
If you like, chop some onion and add it to the chicken
While its boiling
Into the broth, add two cans of mexican-style tomatoes
That’s about it
You then can add pieces of mozzarella cheese, avocado
and tortilla chips. Garnish with cilantro if desired.

Would you get the same taste if you just put the tortillas in the soup (instead of making chips then putting into soup)?

I came up with this when I had to get rid of some chicken and tortillas but I didn't want a huge mess:

I added a can of Herdez salsa casera to one can of chicken broth and 2 cans of water, about a cup of frozen corn and the shredded chicken. While that warmed thru I cut the tortillas into strips and baked them until crispy. Then you just place the tortilla strips into a bowl, spoon over some of the soup, and add all the toppings you want :cheese, sour cream, onions, avocado, limes etc. I was surprised what a hit it was at my house :)

Damn you all for making me crave this in a place where no one makes it decently. I'll have to find a recipe now.

EZ's has surprisingly awesome tortilla soup.

[BacktoBasics]

Homemade tortilla chips make all the difference in the world.

I like the film except for how hungry watching it always makes me.

Sorry Jekka, but we had some yesterday and it was very very good. :D

Do you have any leftovers I can feast on in Jekka's honor? :)

OK, so how do I get in your family then? Mexican food is an important prerequisite when selecting a woman.

Do you have any audio-visual experience? :lol

BTW.....this is also the same sister who makes Chicken Mole and Menudo.

Big fan, the local place that I used to get it at has closed down unfortunatly ):

[RGMCSE]

Love Tortilla Soup. Gringos was my favorite until they sold the restaurant. My wife recently found a hole in the wall on Fredricksburg Rd. that is the freaking bomb!!

[IronMexican]

Is this more of a Texas thing? Never had it.

This may be what you meant by Mexican tomatoes, but I love to cook a little bit of green chiles in the stock when I make mine for tortilla soup, along with plenty of onions. After that I keep it simple and put some chunks of corn on the cob in and whatever I'm in the mood for. I prefer mine without the canned tomatoes but I like some chopped fresh tomatoes and avocado and cilantro as garnish. Don't laugh but Taco Cabana makes tortilla soup when the weather turns cold and it's very fresh tasting and really hits the spot.

Would you get the same taste if you just put the tortillas in the soup (instead of making chips then putting into soup)?

You put strips of tortilla chips on top of your bowl as a garnish; you don't cook them in. That would make them soggy.

My favorite is HEB's tortilla soup kit, it's kind of spicy and so yummy. I've been trying for months to replicate it without the kit (because it's freaking $10!!!) but I can't get the spices just right.

I've had Chacho's but it has too much cilantro for my tastes, Red Robin's is decent surprisingly, Don Pedro's isn't spicy enough, and TC's is pretty okay. I'm going to have to try Jim's though!

[atxrocker]

love it, makes for great hangover food too

[spursfan09]

This thread so made me go to Las Palapas and get some earlier :)

[MoSpur]

Mmmmm....that sounds good right now.
