Chicken Tortilla Soup

A few weeks ago I decided to make one of my favorite soups... Chicken Tortilla Soup. I posted the recipe below the picture of ingredients.

Chicken Tortilla Soup

1 tsp Olive Oil
1 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (about 10 ounces)
1 cup whole kernel corn, frozen or canned
1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper or 1 Tbls chopped seeded Jalapeno Pepper
1 tsp ground Cumin
1 tsp Worchestshire Sauce
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans no sodium (or low sodium) chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can crushed tomato
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can Healthy Request (or Progresso) Tomato Soup
1 pkg corn tortillas or tostada shells

Heat oil in Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute 2 minutes or until tender. Stir in chicken and next 9 ingredients (chicken through tomato soup); bring to a boil. Cut or break 4 tortillas into pieces and add to soup. Reduce heat and simmer at least 1 hour. Ladle soup into bowls and top with additional tortilla pieces and a tablespoon of sour cream if desired.
