8 cups chicken broth
1 1/2 lbs chicken breast cut up
2 or 3 *chipotle peppers

shredded Monterey jack cheese
Tortilla chips
Sour cream

In blender combine undrained tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, and sugar. Cover and blend till nearly smooth. Put mixture into a large pot with chicken broth, chicken and chipotle peppers. Bring to boiling; cover and simmer for 20 minutes.

Put crunched tortilla chips in a bowl with cheese, and sour cream (omit if desired) . Ladle soup over; serve immediately. Makes 8 or 10 servings.

Note: if people are wondering what is a chipolte pepper. It is a smoked jalapeño. Do not think the soup will taste good without it. It is the reason why my soup recipe is so good.
