Tortilla Soup

We just had this for dinner last night. It's so yummy. Thanks to Katharine Lambert who gave me the recipe.  She brought this meal to me when I had a brand new baby and it hit the spot.

Tortilla Soup

6 cups chicken broth (I use Swanson's Natural Goodness-- 3 cans is close enough to 6 cups for me)
1 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup rice, uncooked

3-4 T green chilies, diced (this will be less than a 4 oz can)
2 Cups cooked chicken, diced
1 t cumin
2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh is best)

garnishes:
cilantro
cheddar cheese, shredded
tomatoes, diced
tortilla chips
avocado
sour cream

1. Bring chicken broth, onion, and rice to a boil. Cook until rice is tender.
2. Add green chilies, chicken, and cumin. The soup requires no additional cooking at this point but can continue to be simmered.
3. Add lime juice just before serving.
4. Allow diners to place garnishes of their choice in their bowls of soup.
