It's been kinda cold and wet here so the wife said something about chicken tortilla soup. I got online and found this as a starting point.

Of course I made some modifications.
First, sous vide chicken breasts seasoned with Q-Salt. (140 for 2.5 hours) cool and shred.
Next the veggies. Two onions and 3 jalapenos sauteed in a stick of butter until a bit caramelized. The I added some frozen tomatoes from last summer (you can freeze them whole).
Cook that for a while and begin adding the seasonings. I generally double what the recipe calls for. For the chili powder, I used Mild Bills Dark Chili Powder (the chili powder you use makes a BIG difference). Then to smooth it out a bit I hit it with the stick blender.
Sometime during the process, fry the tortilla strips.
Then add the chicken to the mix.
Finally a nice hot mug of comforting soup.
By the way, I really like the fried tortilla strips in case you can't tell.
The wife said this was the best tortilla soup she ever had.
