Turkey-Tortilla Soup

Ingredients

• 4 (6-inch) corn tortillas
• Cooking spray
• 2 1/4 teaspoons salt-free chili powder, divided
• 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 cup finely chopped onion
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 (14.5-ounce) can Mexican-style stewed tomatoes with jalapeño peppers and spices, undrained
• 2 cups shredded cooked turkey breast (about 12 ounces)
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup (1 ounce) crumbled queso fresco

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Stack tortillas on a cutting board, and cut into 1/4-inch strips. Place strips in a bowl, lightly coat with cooking spray, tossing to coat. Repeat the procedure. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon chili powder over strips, tossing to coat. Arrange strips in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 10 minutes; stir. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until lightly browned and crisp. Cool on pan.
3. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in broth, remaining 2 teaspoons chili powder, cumin, and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Stir in turkey; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in juice and cilantro. Ladle 1 1/2 cups soup into each of 4 bowls. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon cheese and about 3/4 cup tortilla strips. Serve immediately.
