Chicken Tortilla Soup

"The fresh lime and cilantro in this zesty treat remind me of warmer climates--a nice bonus on chilly days here in northern Michigan," writes Marianne Morgan from Traverse City. "I lightened up the original recipe by baking the tortilla strips rather than frying them."

Ingredients

3 corn tortillas (6 inches), cut into 1/4-inch strips
4 teaspoons Crisco® Pure Olive Oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 large onion, chopped
5 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 pound red potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup frozen corn
1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons lime juice

Directions

In a large resealable plastic bag, combine tortilla strips, 1
teaspoon oil and salt. Seal bag and shake to coat. Arrange tortilla
strips on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 8-10
minutes or until crisp, stirring once. Remove to paper towels to
cool.
In a large saucepan, saute chicken in remaining oil until no longer
pink and lightly browned. Add onion; cook and stir until onion is
