White chicken chili or tortilla soup recipe?

Options
I Google recipes on the forum but they were old recipes. Sher-bear loves both so I thought I'd egg some this week. Any good ones?

    Soup, Tortilla, Country Style, Sopa de Tortilla, Oaxaca, Beli

    Tortilla soup is one of those great examples from the "land of no waste", my nickname for Mexico.  As the soft tortilla (blanda) ages, it needs to be eaten, so if it is fried and used in other dishes such as tortilla soup or chilaquiles.  This is recycling at its best, using old tortillas and adding a broth or sauce and fresh garnishes.  The tortilla becomes reborn with a new identity, flavor and name.  In Oaxaa, I have had tortilla soup two ways--this version and another with a brown bean puree as the base.

    INGREDIENTS:
    1 1/4 Lbs Tomatoes (3 medium-large round or 10-13 plum)
    1/2 Cup Peanut, Sunflower, or vegetable Oil
    4 Older tortillas, cut into strips (about 2 cups)
    1 Medium White Onion, Chopped
    1 Head Garlic cloves, separated and finely chopped
    12 Cups Flavored Chicken Stock
    Salt/Pepper to taste
    10 Chiles chipotles en adobo
    1 Haas avocado, peeled and cut into chunks
    1/4 Pound Queso Fresco, cut into 1/2 inch chunks (manchego or muenster may be substituted
    1 Cup Cilantro, Finely Chopped
    1 Cup Chicken, Poached, Shredded

    PROCEDURE:

    1. On a 10-inch comal, griddle, or in a cast iron frying pan, roast the tomatoes over medium heat 10-12 minutes until soft and the skin starts to slough off. Allow to cool, then peel and discard the skins. Puree the tomatoes in the blender until smooth.

    2. Heat the oil in an 8-inch cast-iron frying pan until it smokes. Add the tortilla strips. Fry for 3-5 minutes over medium heat or until brown, and drain on paper towels. Remove the remaining oil, reserving 2 tablespoons.

    3. Put the 2 tablespoons oil in a heavy 4-quart stockpot and sauté the onion until clear, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook 2 minutes longer. Add the tomatoe puree and fry well, about 10 minutes.

    4. Add the chicken stock, lower the heat to simmer, and cook, covered for 1/2 hour. Add salt/pepper.

    5. Put chile chipotle, a few avocado chunks, some cheese cubes, shredded chicken, chopped cilantro, and fried tortilla strips in each bowl. Add the soup and serve.

    Recipe Type: Poultry, Side Dish, Soup

    This is going to be vague, but I make white chili about the same as red chili except I use all white colored beans instead of red.  Then I think I use some chicken stock instead of all that tomato sauce/juice and no paste.   Sometimes I still add a can of tomatoes to it which makes more of a pink colored chili. 

    I go for the white meaning "white meat and white beans over red meat and red beans," and don't stress about the color.  It's always good!  And some corn...can of drained corn.

    @henapple we have made the Rachel Ray recipe for chicken tortilla soup and it was excellent. If you really want to amp up the smokiness make chicken stock after you smoke a bird and use that in the recipe.

    I literally just finished the last of the weekend batch of White Chicken Chile. OUTSTANDING.

    I prepared everything except the chicken thighs on Thursday to meld overnight and cooked the chicken Friday morning. 

    I used Tsumani Spin on the thighs and smoked with a chunck of hickory and two chunks of apple. 

    We enjoyed dinner Friday, lunch  yesterday and a final bowl today.

    The recipe is from Eggtoberfest 2014. PDF of all the recipes are here:
