Tortilla Soup & Pork Sliders

Thursday football.
Good beer. Good food. Horrible game. And then, a night out.

Tortilla soup:
All good soups start with a great stock.
- Homemade chicken stock
- Chicken thighs - dredged in flour, browned with a bit of oil.
- Corn tortillas cut into strips
- Leeks, cut the same size as the tortillas
- Can of diced tomatoes
- Cilantro
- Jalepenos
- Pablano pepper
- Chili powder
- Cayenne pepper
- Seasoning salt
- Paprika
- Hot sauce

Soups are pretty straight forward. Cook everything a little, then throw it in to one big pot and let it cook for a while. My steps were to crisp some of the tortilla strips up first, then add leeks, then add a can of diced tomatoes. Let that simmer for a bit, then add it into the stock pot. Once the chicken is cooked, remove, then shred, then place back into the pot. I garnished this dish with crispy tortilla strips, fresh cilantro, and fresh diced tomatoes.
