SpicyChickenTortillaSoup

As a little bonus to all of you out there who look at this blog, I'll occasionally throw out a favorite recipe of mine. My favorite right now is this soup. 1st one should know that any ingredient in this recipe can be changed to suit your taste. You're cooking this for you, not for me, so cook it like you like it. I do, this isn't the original recipe I was given for this soup, I fine tuned it to the masterpiece of culinary delight the it is for ME right now, but do what you will with it. Experiment, have a good time and enjoy.

2-3lbs boneless chicken breast
2 large cans chicken broth
1 large yellow onion
1 jar roasted red and yellow peppers
i can chopped green chilis
assorted other peppers to your taste and hotness desires(I tend to stay mellow, let's the flavor come through better)
1 box fresh mushrooms(chopped or sliced to your tastes)
1 large can stewed tomatoes
2 cans of diced tomatoes(comes seasoned with a wide variety of flavors(celery and green peppers, oregano and basil, jalepeno, etc))
1-2 lbs pepperjack cheese
1 bag tortilla chips
fry chicken and sautee onions, peppers and shrooms, cut chicken how you like, add to broth, add peppers, onions and shrooms all chopped like you like it, add tomatoes, let simmer(ready to eat now, the longer it simmers the better it is.....really, tomorrow it'll be even better). Before serving melt cheese on top and served with crumbled up tortilla chips to sprinkle on top. Enjoy.

Next time I'll tell you how to use the leftovers to make chicken enchilada pie. Later,
Finn
