Slords Slurp Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:
3 Tbs peanut oil
1 small onion chopped
2 cloves garlic chopped
1 chile chopped
4 cups chicken broth
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes (or fresh)
1 fresh lime
chopped cilantro
2 cups shredded jack cheese
1-2 avocados
1 1/2 cup shredded chicken

Directions:
Heat 3 big tbs of peanut oil over medium high heat. Cook onion in oil for 2 minutes. Add garlic and chile, cook 2-3 minutes. Stir in broth, 1 can of corn, tomatoes and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add chicken, heat until hot. Right before serving squeeze one lime into the soup and add chopped fresh cilantro to taste. Serve with avocado, tortilla strips and shredded cheese. Either buy a package of tortilla strips or if you are feeling RISKY - get a package of corn tortillas. Cut them up in strips and put them in a tiny but of peantu oil until golden/cripsy. Make sure the oil is hot or they will not fry. Dry on paper towel and serve on top.
