Ingredients

  • 2 (28 ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
  • 14 ounces of corn tostadas
  • 12 yellow onion, chopped
  • 8 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons light Karo syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 small chipotle chile in adobo
  • sour cream
  • chopped green onion
  • cilantro
  • 3 chicken breasts (approx. 3 breasts, cubed, see directions)
  • crushed tostadas
  • grated cheddar cheese

Method

  • SOUP.
  • Sautee onions and garlic in oil in a large pot until tender.
  • More can be used than recipe states, depending on taste preference.
  • Add crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, butter, chipotle chille, sugar and caro syrup.
  • A larger chipotle chille will create quite the kick in this soup, you can add a few drops of the adobo sauce as well to provide some extra spice.
  • Simmer on low for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Roughly crush up half the bag of tostada shells and mix them in with the soup.
  • Let that sit for about 10-15 minutes so that the shells absorb the soup.
  • Use a hand blender to mix the soup and get it to a nice, smooth consistancy.
  • You may want to blend it two to three times over a fifteen-twenty minute period.
  • You can also add more broth if you want to thin it out more.
  • Add soup into pasta bowls and top with desired yummies.
  • CHICKEN.
  • Really simple, you can use leftovers, but I like to boil mine.
  • Bring water in pot to boil and add olive oil, 2 TB kosher salt and large handful of cilantro.
  • Boil chicken breasts for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from water and let cool, then chop into medium cubes.
