-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
1 cup celery, diced
-
1 cup onion, diced
-
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
1/4 teaspoon pepper
-
4 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
-
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
-
1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet taco seasoning
-
10 small soft corn tortillas

12 ounces cooked chicken, shredded or diced

8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
-
1 cup milk

1 cup carrot, diced
-
1 (15 ounce) can Ro-Tel tomatoes, diced

Instructions
- Saute carrots, celery, onions, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in oil until tender.
- Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Stir in the tomatoes, Ro-tel tomatoes, taco seasoning, and chicken.
- Cut soft tortillas into small pieces and add to the broth mixture (My suggestion is to start with 6-8 tortillas and add more if you would like thicker soup).
- Let boil for 20 minutes or until tortillas are incorparated into the soup.
- Stir occasionally to keep the soup from sticking as it thickens.
- Reduce heat and add 6 oz cheese.
- Simmer for additional 10 minutes.
- Add milk and simmer for another 10 minutes.
- Serve with shredded cheese and corn tortilla chips on top.
