Chicken tortilla soup

Ingredients:
2 T olive oil
1 onion, diced
salt to taste
1 tsp pepper
1 bell pepper (I used half red/half yellow)
5 cloves garlic, minced (I like a lot of garlic!)
2 tsp cumin
2 tsp chili powder
1.5 C black beans
4 C chicken broth (I used the bone broth from the pastured chicken I made and it was amazing)
1 tsp bay leaf (mine is chopped/dried. You can use 1 bay leaf and just take it out after it's done cooking)
1 tsp parsley
1 1/2 C frozen corn
1 15 oz can diced tomatoes (I used Muir Glen fire roasted)
1 tsp powdered ancho chile (optional but it added a nice flavor)
1 lb cooked, shredded pastured chicken

Optional garnish:
Juice of 1 lime
Sprouted corn tortilla strips (I fried them in some coconut oil to turn them into chips)
sour cream

Saute the onion in the olive oil for about 4 minutes. Add bell pepper, cumin and garlic and saute for another 3 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer for 20-30 min. Garnish with sour cream, tortilla chips and lime juice


Sorry for the terrible pictures, took them with my phone because it was faster.
