Green Chili Chicken Soup

I got this recipe from a roommate in college. She taught me a lot about cooking, and I have many favorite recipe's that she passed on.

Green Chili Chicken Soup

2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 small onion chopped
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp pepper
pinch oregano
2 medium potatoes peeled and cubed
1 can diced green chilis
5 cups chicken broth
2 cloves garlic minced
1 lb chicken cooked and shredded

Heat oil in 2 quart sauce pan and add onion and garlic. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Uncover and raise heat to medium. Stir in cumin and pepper. Let cook 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally. Add oregano, chili's, chicken, potatoes and broth. Bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 25 minutes. Serve hot with Monterey Jack cheese as a garnish.

Note: We love this with fresh homemade breadsticks!
