Mexican Lime Soup
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 6 garlic cloves, sliced
  • 6 small skinless boneless chicken breast halves, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-wide strips

  • 9 cups canned chicken broth
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice

  • 1 1/2 cups coarsely crushed tortilla chips

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and stir 20 seconds. Add chicken and oregano to pot; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Saute 3 minutes. Add broth and lime juice and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
