Chicken "Tortilla" Soup (Tortilla-Free)

2 cloves of garlic

1 med chili pepper OR green chilies

3/4 c of chopped onions

1 (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes

4 c of chicken broth, stock or bullion

2 baked chicken breasts, shredded (can season w/pepper, chili, etc.)

seasonings

2t of olive oil

In a small pot, combine chilies of your choice, onion, garlic and oil. Cook the veggies until tender. Add chicken broth, shredded chicken, and tomatoes (undrained) to the pot. Add seasonings of your choice (cayenne, chili powder and a little bit of garlic salt worked well for me). Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes.

Serve with fat-free shredded mozzarella and sliced avocado. (add some whole wheat tortilla strips if it's in your diet!)
