Tortilla Soup

Puree cilantro, garlic, green chiles, and tomatoes in a food processor. In a large pot, bring 6 cups stock or broth to a boil. Add pureed mixture and cumin. Bring back to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place tortilla strips on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. Spray tops of tortilla strips with cooking spray. Bake for 6 – 7 minutes, turning once.

After the base of the soup has cooked for 1 hour, add cooked chicken. Cook for 5 minutes, or until chicken is heated. Garnish with shredded cheese, tortilla strips, and sour cream if desired.
