Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ok everyone loves spatch chicken and I make it quite often, since ther are two of us I have to plan ahead of what I will do with the left over bird. Well its getting to that time of the year that soups and you are craving something hearty to eat.
I've made Tortilla soup for years and I am pretty sure that's the meal I made that convinced my wife that I'm a legit Tortilla soup maker. Not to brag but she went to The Mansion (Restaurant in Dallas that's famous) to compare soups. She came home and said hands down mine was better. Yes I know she might be saying that to make me feel better about myself but to this day she requests mine.
Left Over Bird boil in water and chicken broth, pull bird out and debone and chop up into pieces
1 bunch Cilantro
1 chopped Onion
1 chopped jalapeño
2 hatch chillies
2 cans Broth
3 chopped Tomato
Chopped Garlic
Spices, Cumin, Paprika, pepper, and chili powder.
Sorry about the amounts of what to add but I'm the kind who grabs and goes and if its off a little I just add to taste.
I put on the egg around 1 today and Took off around 7 tonight, cooked indirect about 275. I kept checking on it and if I got low on juice I would add some water and keep it simmering. Came out awesome.

Looks wonderful, Tuttle. I was going to get after you for not having tortillas in your recipe, but I saw them in your plated picture. ;;)__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Looks good! So you spatch the chicken, then boil it? for how long? add chicken and other stuff and simmer for several hours. Just not sure about the boiling part

Looks great, Tuttle. Love me some tortilla soup. I'll have to try yours.

I like to boil it the day after I have cooked it, I like the idea of throwing the whole bird in the pot and broiling it with bones and the spices on the chicken skin as well. I think it makes a nice broth for the soup."Hold my beer and watch this S##T!"

Thanks Little Steven!

I like to make extra chicken and freeze it to use in tortilla soup. We use a super easy recipe that is basically Chicken & Rice soup, a can of Rotel tomatoes, and frozen corn. Add chicken, heat in a crock pot (or stove top if you're in a hurry), and throw in some tortilla strips at the end. Not gourmet, but a good, fast, weekday meal. Chicken from the egg makes it taste great.

This is one I did a few years ago after I smuggled some queso fresca home from Mexico.
I had planned to do this on the egg entirely but the weather was lousy. Grilled the chicken and tomatoes on the egg at least.
Some rich chicken stock I made yeterday, jalapenos, dried passilas, onion, garlic, burned tomatoes, cilantro stems and achiotte.
Fried tortilla strips
Garnished with cilantro, avacado, red onion and queso fresca

Forgot to add on this recipe. I had some roasted corn in the fridge and cut all the kernels off and threw them in the soup also.Today for leftovers I threw a can of Rotel in as well.You can't go wrong with Rotel.

Do you have to "throw" them? That sounds so violent.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

It rained today and I wanted to mow my yard and wash my filthy Truck, so I was letting out a little aggression."Hold my beer and watch this S##T!"
