Tortilla Soup With Roasted Pork----Delicious!

This recipe is very low-calorie and delicious!

Tortilla Soup with Roasted Pork

1 1/2 c. roast pork, shredded
2 T. oil
1 sm. red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can diced tomatoes with chipotle chiles in juice
6 c. chicken broth
4 T. fresh cilantro, chopped
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
1 sm. can corn (optional)

In large pot warm oil. Add onion and garlic, saute 4-5 minutes. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cilantro, and pork. (Add beans and corn also, if you like.) Raise heat to med-high and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to med-low, cover partially and simmer for 10 min.

Serve over broken tortilla chips. Top with a squeeze of lime (this really makes a dramatic difference in the taste!), some diced fresh avocado, and some crumbled queso fresco or shredded cheese.
