Directions: |
Directions:Make the soup in a large pot, heat the oil over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the jalapeno and cook another 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and oregano and cook for 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the chicken stock, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover and cook for 30 minutes. Add the chicken and cook another 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the tortilla strips. In a medium large skillet, heat enough oil to cover the1/2" up the sides of the skillet. Heat the oil until hot, put a small piece of tortilla or a speck of salt or flour in the oil and it should immediately sizzle. Cook the strips one at a time for 1-2 minutes on each side until lightly browned and beginning to puff. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt.
Just before serving add the lime juice to the pot. When serving, put the soup in bowls with 2-3 tortilla strips on it. Put a plate of garnishes in the middle of the table and everyone can help themself.
