Broth

  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 cup Calabasa Squash diced
  • 1/2 cup Red Onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon minced Garlic
  • 2 teaspoons sliced Jalapeño no seeds
  • 8 cups Chicken Broth store bought or homemade
  • 1 1/2 cups canned Corn Kernels drained
  • 1 cup Jicama diced
  • 1 cup Tomatoes diced
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed Lime Juice
  • 1 teaspoon Oregano chopped
  • 1 pound Chicken Breast fully cooked and sliced into strips

  • 1 ripe Avocado
  • 8 tablespoons Cilantro chopped
  • Four 6-inch Blue Corn Tortillas
  • Four 6-inch White Corn Tortillas
  • 1 cup Canola or Peanut Oil
  • Salt as needed

Instructions

Broth

  • Heat the oil in a large pot until hot.
  • Add squash, onion, jalapeño and garlic. Sauté until tender and translucent.
  • Add chicken broth, corn, jicama and tomatoes. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer until the squash is tender.
  • Taste. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Add lime juice, oregano and fully cooked sliced chicken breast.
  • Continue to simmer for 5 minutes more minutes.
  • Reduce heat and keep warm until ready to serve.

Garnish

  • Starting at the top, with a very sharp knife, cut down into each avocado until you hit the pit. Cut completely around the avocado, top to bottom, touching the pit the entire time.
  • Pull the two halves of the avocado apart and remove the pit with a spoon.
  • Use the spoon to scoop the avocado out of the skin.
  • Dice avocado. Set aside.
  • Cut tortillas in half on a clean cutting board, then cut into 1/8th inch strips. Place oil in a small pan. Place on stove top over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot, add a small amount of the strips. Fry until crisp.
  • Remove strips and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb the excess oil. Continue until all strips are fried.
  • Lightly season the crisp tortillas with salt.

Serving

  • Serve soup hot.
  • Garnish with diced avocado, chopped cilantro and crisp tortilla strips.
