look at this and ladies and gentlemen's here's our second soup chicken chicken torga soup you're going to love it believe me you are going to love it and tomato onion chicken Buon oregano corn tortillas um I have Chile the AR you can use uh I usually do two but this one is a long one so I only decide one this is not going to be as spicy but it going to give flavor and Chile wo okay these Chile you can find it at any store Walmart Walmart ATV uh kroger Smith they sell it you just go to the aisle where all the spices are and that's going to be there and chicken but my chicken is finished cooking so this is all you need for this soapa chicken tortilla soup let me show you okay first things first I'm going to clean we're going to remove that tail and the seats inside I always like to wear gloves because if not when you touch your nose your mouth or your baby or whoever it's going to be spicy so very quick I already have a small pot um in my on my stove with water to get it hot to get it boiling water I'm going to turn it off so I can add my chile and reh rehydrate okay get all the seeds the tail okay we don't want that and the little veins if you can see them remove them as well this ones okay we're not doing that with a um Chile AR okay only to this one okay I have a small pan in my um stove with two tbspoon of oil and what I'm going to do I'm just going to slice cut my tomato like that I'm I'm going to kind of like fry them to get all the in the flavor to bring the flavor like intense and more intense right I'm adding my garlic as well and with my onion I I like to slice it so it can like get all the flavors so okay so let's take it to the stove I'm going to fry this my tomato my onion and my garlic for around 5 to 6 minutes and then the last minute and then 6 minutes pass and then I'm going to add my chile theable only the last minute this has to be very quick because if you don't this type of um Chile their flavor change a lot so I'm just going to remove the little tail and I'm going to leave it here for later okay my water is boiling I'm going to turn it off I'm going to add my chilles and I'm just going to leave it here for like five minutes that's it now here I have my pot with two tablespoons of oil oh sorry I move it okay and very careful I'm I'm going to add my tomato garlic onion okay you want to cover it so all the oil doesn't come out um pop it up every like minute or so I'm going to kind of mix it up so everything can have a chance to to be here hold up meanwhile that's happening I'm going to start cutting my tortillas okay and this is the way I like to cut them okay put it on my [Music] plate I'm using the same um the same pot that I used for to do my potato soup remember I'm going to use it to fry my tortillas I'm just going to wait for it to be warm I have in low heat um the oil so because I don't want to burn my tortillas so let's wait for that okay this is ready I'm just going to add my chile for little literally literally 30 seconds a minute the most okay make out you don't want to burn it but you want to like kind of like toast it okay so let me see if you can see what I'm doing yeah so I have it right there I want it to touch my pan okay so I'm going to leave it there for like 10 seconds and then move it 10 seconds move it you know but this is what you're looking for okay okay I'm going to add my tomatoes my onion all that stuff I'm going to add water I'm going to add my chile gu that they were in the water remember okay hold on sorry I'm adding my chile without the water and actually you can use this water to cuz we need some water so I'm just going to use this one you can use clean one as well but it's fine okay and I'm at this point I'm going to add my chicken buan and let's blend it okay I'm going to use the same pot because all that that you see there it's a lot of flavor so we're going to use this I what cander I think that's what it's called right I'm not going to turn it on yet because it's going to start all the fat and all the oil that is already here it's going to be popping and it's going to burn me so I don't want that so just going to do this uh um you may be asking why do we need to do this every time you use wajo pepper Bano pepper all those dry Mexican Peppers you have to do you have to do this because no matter how good you blend um your Chile you're going to have all that stuff that I don't like in my soups and they're very hold on what's the word I know the word um say bitter bitter it it get this gets bitter your soup or whatever you're using so that's the reason why you have to pass it through this CER so did you see all that you don't want that in your soup you know I like more clean as well so that's why I do it too cuz I don't want all that in my soup okay once I finished I just add more water and I'm going to let this boil for maybe 10 minutes so all the flavors can combine check if it needs more salt if you want to um and at the end we're adding oregano too okay guys uh let's see my hot here here has it's going to start boiling so I'm going to leave it there for maybe 10 minutes then here I'm getting a medium low for my tortillas we're going to fry them and I'm going to shred my chicken and my chicken tortilla soup it's ready okay and if you decide to make these soups and buy a bag of Wu Peppers that
