My Boyfriend Dated A Chef

I became a Wildtree Rep. What does that mean exactly? It means that when I mention the all-natural Wildtree seasoning items on this site, you can actually order them. Unfortunately, you can’t just run out to your local grocer and pick up the rocking pizza dough and alfredo sauce I wrote about months ago or the fab tortilla soup that I will be featuring today. Total bummer, right? Now, if you want something Wildtree’esque, I can help. Because I’m a rep, does NOT mean that I’m going to be pimping Wildtree left and right and it does NOT mean that I will only be making Wildtree recipes. HELLS-NO! This is not a business opportunity for me or a way to make money on the side. Actually, it’s more work. I would just like to offer you the option to order the all-natural seasonings I talk about from time to time. I like some of their stuff and so I share.

So, without further ado, I looooove this Tortilla Soup recipe. So yummy. I normally make it up on a cool Friday evening or Saturday afternoon so I can enjoy the leftovers for weekend lunches.

Makes 6-1 cup servings. Recipe from Wildtree.

INGREDIENTS:
2.35 oz box of Wildtree Tortilla Soup Mix
3 1/2 cups water
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbs. olive oil
1 cup frozen corn
1/2 lb tomatoes (approx. 3 tomatoes - I used vine ripe)
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
sour cream (optional)
shredded cheese (optional)
tortilla chips (optional)

DIRECTIONS:
Combine one box of Tortilla Soup Mix with water. Bring to a boil and then lower heat to simmer.

In a skillet, sear both sides of the chicken breast in olive oil. Do not cook through. Remove chicken and slice into 1-inch strips.

Add chicken strips to  soup along with corn, tomatoes and tomato sauce. Continue simmering for a total of 2 hours. This soup can be made ahead, and is excellent reheated.

To serve, top with sour cream, shredded cheese, and/or Tortilla Chips.

NOTES:
