Copycat of Rumbi's Bahama Mama Tortilla Soup
Calories
Ingredients
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
- 8 cups chicken broth
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ½ tsp fresh thyme chopped or a pinch of dried thyme
- ⅛ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Tbsp fresh ginger chopped (I used the stuff in a tube)
- 1 Tbsp garlic minced
- 1 cup carrots shredded or matchstick, I used the matchstick
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup tomato chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 cups white tortilla strips or crushed tortilla chips or crushed tortilla chips, see note below
- 1 lime cut into wedges
- salt
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor or indoor grill for medium heat. Salt and pepper chicken breasts and grill for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove from the grill, and cut into chunks. (You can even purchase already grilled chicken from the store and use that to make this soup even easier)
- In a large pot, combine the chicken broth, allspice, thyme, cinnamon, ginger and garlic and bring to a boil.
- Remove from the heat and add the coconut milk, carrots and chicken. Let it sit for a few minutes to heat the chicken.
- Get four soup bowls and place 1/4 cup of the tomato in each.
- Ladle broth mixture into bowls. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and tortilla strips. Squeeze juice onto soup from lime wedges. Makes 4 bowls.
Notes
Note: You can find tortilla strips in your grocery store now. I have seen them in the produce dept, deli dept, or on the chip isle. If not, then crushed tortilla chips will work. They just aren't as pretty.
