1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 white onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
1 (32 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes
4 large fresh tomatoes, diced
2 Anaheim chile peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 jalapeno pepper, stemmed and seeded (Optional)
2 tablespoons ground cumin

1 (8 ounce) container sour cream
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until brown and tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in 2 cans of chicken broth and canned tomatoes. Add fresh tomatoes.
Mix Anaheim chile peppers, jalapeño pepper, cumin, chili powder, and black pepper into the pot. Stir in chicken. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer soup until flavors combine, about 20 minutes.
Ladle soup into serving bowls; twist 1 lime wedge into each bowl. Top with corn chips, sour cream, Cheddar cheese, avocado, and cilantro.

Tips

You can substitute Mexican cheese blend for the Cheddar cheese.

You can substitute tortilla strips (such as Mission) for the corn chips.
