Chicken Tortilla Soup With V8

Description: I absolutely love tortilla soup and I've realized more is not always necessary. This is amazing and there never seems to be leftovers.

Ingredients:

• 1 small white onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 4 -6 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup petit canned tomato (or fresh)
• 1 (12 ounce) can v8 spicy vegetable juice (you can use regular)
• 4 1/2 cups water
• 1 large knorr beef bouillon cube
• 1 large knorr chicken bouillon cube
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 -2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• fried corn tortilla strips, for topping (can use tortilla chips to lessen oil)
• avocado, for topping
• shredded mozzarella cheese, for topping
• cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

1. In a large microwaveable dish heat 2 cups of water till boiling and add bouillon cubes, stir to dissolve them.
2. In a large pot sauté vegetable oil, chopped small white onion and minced garlic together.
3. Add remaining ingredients to include the bouillon.
4. Cover and bring to a boil.
5. You may add additional vegetables at this time if you chose to add 30 minutes to the cooking time.
6. <<<<To serve>>>>.
7. I love the taste of tortilla strips so I layer the bottom of each bowl and then pour soup in and top with tortilla strips, cheese, avocado, and plenty of cilantro.
