Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped onion
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chile peppers
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat – cubed
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 0.25 cup cold water
• 0.25 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

Steps

1. Combine onion, chicken broth, tomatoes, and taco seasoning in a large sauce pan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in chicken; reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until chicken is no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth; gradually stir into soup.
2. Bring soup to a boil over medium-high heat; cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 1 minute. Top with Mexican cheese and cilantro.
