Blog Challenge Day 5: Post your favorite recipe!

This one is going to be one of my favorite post! Since we posted about what was in our fridge yesterday, I find it only fitting to fill you in on our favorite recipes! So, without further ado, 

Chicken Tortilla Soup!!

• Chicken Tortilla Soup
• Butter (6 tablespoons) 
• Diced onions (half of a decent sized onion)
• Flour (2 tablespoons)
• Chicken stock (4 cups)
• Water (4 cups)
• Cream of chicken soup (1 large can)
• Salsa (medium sized jar)
• Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• Shredded monterey jack or pepper jack cheese (2 cups)
• Chicken breast (4 large boneless, skinless)
• Half & Half (1 pint)

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a stock pot. Add diced onions and cook over medium heat until tender and transparent. Add another 3 tablespoons of butter. When melted, add 2 tablespoons of flour and combine well. Add 4 cups of water and 4 cups of chicken stock and turn heat up to medium/medium-high, stirring well to get flour mixture distributed through the liquid. Add 1 large can of cream of chicken soup, medium sized jar of salsa (hot or mild, your preference), some (a handful) of fresh chopped cilantro, and 1 pint of Half & Half. When good and hot, add 2 cups shredded monterey jack or pepper jack cheese, and COOKED shredded chicken. 

Serve with more shredded cheese, cilantro, and tortilla chips!

And there you have it. My FAVORITE thing to cook (and eat)! I can't wait for feedback on how you guys made this dish!! I promise it won't disappoint!

Enjoy!
