Ingredients:

4 boneless chicken thighs

Chicken Bouillon – 1 tsp per cup of water for boiling your chicken + more according to your taste.

White Onion

4 Garlic cloves

4 Roma Tomatoes

Dry Guajillo Chili

Bay Leaf

Cumin

Water

Corn Tortillas

Instructions:

1. If you don’t have left over turkey or chicken, boil your chicken in chicken broth. I used enough water to cover the chicken and added 1 tsp of chicken bouillon per cup of water, 1/4 of an onion, 2 garlic cloves, black pepper, and a bunch of cilantro. Bring to boil, cover and simmer until chicken is cooked. Make sure to skim off the impurities.
2. Rinse chili and remove seeds.
3. On a comal/ flat griddle, toast your tomatoes, 1/4 onion, 3 garlic cloves (with skin on) and guajillo chili. Make sure not to burn your chili. When done toasting, peel skin off garlic and add all ingredients to a blender with a cup of the chicken broth.
4. Warm up one tortilla on the same comal. Break up into pieces and add it to the blender with the tomatoes, onions, garlic and chili. Blend until smooth. Season tomato soup with a teaspoon of cumin and chicken bouillon.
5. Strain chicken broth into another pot. Add tomato soup to the chicken broth. Season with salt or chicken bouillon and pepper if needed.
6. Shred chicken and add it back to the broth to warm through.
7. While soup is warming, fry up tortilla strips.
