    Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
    1. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a large Dutch oven or sautee pan and set
      over medium-high heat to steam.
    2. Add the onion, jalapeno, and sauté for around 5 minutes, until the
      vegetables start softening. Stir occasionally.
    3. Stir in the garlic and sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Stir occasionally.
    4. Add the chicken broth, juice and tomatoes, lime juice, corn, black beans ,
      rice, chili powder, 2 teaspoons of salt, cumin, pepper, smoked paprika, and bring it to a roaring boil.
    5. Let the mixture slowly simmer for about 5 to 7 minutes. If the overall liquid volume seems small at some point, if you choose to have more broth in your soup, add 1 to 2 cups of water; at the end, you can change the salt and seasoning ratios.
    6. Add the coriander and cook for 1 minute.
    7. Garnish with broth and add salt to taste. It can vary based on how spicy the broth of rice, onions, black beans and rice rotisserie are, and personal choice. Make the required changes to the seasoning (if you want to customize).
    8. Spoon out soup and serve it in soup bowls, top with tortilla strips, ideally
      garnish with avocado, cheese and/or sour cream.

    And your Chicken Tortilla soup is ready. Enjoy it with your family and friends.
