Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

So I've had a few people ask for this recipe and since I haven't gotten around to emailing it out, I figured I'd just post it here since most of those who have asked for it read the blog, but everyone should try it! It's my favorite soup recipe and super easy!

Chicken Tortilla Soup

5-6 chicken breasts, cubed (We use 2-3 cans of chicken from Costco instead)
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can diced Rotel (Mexican seasoned tomatoes)
1 Tbsp crushed garlic (or more, to taste)
1 onion chopped
1 Tbsp cumin (or more, to taste)
6 chicken bouillon cubes
1 beef bouillon cube
4 Tbsp cilantro, chopped (or more, to taste)
1/4 cup lime juice
3 cups water

*Just combine all the ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Then I usually let it simmer for 30 minutes or so before I serve it. Or just put in it the crock pot for a few hours on low. Serve with grated cheese and tortilla chips.

**We add about one or two cups of rice to it because Brian likes his soups more substantial. You can also add carrots, beans, or pretty much whatever else you want to it! Also, since I'm not a big fan of onions, I just use dried chopped onions instead.

Also, for those of you who haven't already seen Megan's food blog, I strongly suggest having a look! She's posting all kinds of fun recipes and inspiring me to branch out of the usual things we eat around here! (Hopefully she keeps it up after her new little one arrives in the next week or so!)
