Bring stock to simmer. Add chicken and bay leaf. Poach chicken 6-7 minutes in stock.

Heat olive oil in separate soup pot. Add bacon and cook until crisp. Remove bacon and drain leaving 2 - 3 tablespoons of oil and bacon fat. Add onions and garlic to soup pot and cook 5 minutes.

Stir in chopped chipotles and 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce and tomatoes.

Cut up chicken and add to soup. Pour stock through strainer (removing bay leaf) and then add to soup. Season to taste.

To serve, crush chips and place in bowl, cover with cheese and add soup. Top with bacon.

To reduce spice, add slightly less chipotle or remove the chipotle seeds. This freezes well.
