Chicken Tortilla Soup

This is one of my favorite recipe in the whole world. When it comes to soups, my favorite soup any give day will be Tortilla soup. I can have this every day(well may be for 4 days in a row). The broth is what makes this soup so special. Tortilla soup is made out of chicken broth which is light and combined with roasted tomatoes, onion, chiles and tortillas, cut into strips and fried. Well with very little modifications, here is my version of Tortilla soup. Ingredients 4 corn tortillas 1 tbsp oil 1/2 Jalapeno chopped real fine(I like spicy food. can be substituted with 1 Serrano or 2 poblano peppers) 1/2 medium onion, diced 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast piece 4 cups chicken broth 1/2 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles 1/2 10-ounce can Corn kernels  2 tablespoons lime juice oil for frying tortilla chips For Garnish 4 tbsp chopped onions 1/4 cup mixture of  shredded Cheddar cheese and Monterrey jack cheese(...
