Ingredients

4 (5- to 6-inch) corn tortillas
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans low-salt chicken broth
2 cups water
3/4 cup canned Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with juices
1 bay leaf
1 garlic clove, minced

Preheat oven to 350°. Brush 1 side of tortillas with oil; cut in half. Stack halves and cut crosswise into 1/3-inch wide strips. Spread strips on nonstick baking sheet. Bake until light golden, about 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet. Combine broth, water, tomatoes, bay leaf, garlic, cumin, and red pepper in saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Add chicken; simmer 5 minutes. Stir in green onions, cilantro, and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into bowls. Sprinkle with tortillas and serve.


Fun Fact: The Carrizozo Malpais is one of the youngest and best-preserved lava fields in the continental United States. One hundred sixty-five feet deep at the thickest point, the formation is between two and five miles wide. The lava is similar to Hawaiian lava, jagged and rippled, and most of the lava field is a wilderness study area. The Valley of Fires Recreation Area provides access to the malpais on its east edge, about three miles west of Carrizozo, New Mexico.
