Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup

This was the first dish that I ever learned how to cook. My wife loves it. I have 3 small children so when they are eating it, I leave out the Chipotle chile. I think this originally came from either Mens Health or Mens Fitness magazine.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 in. pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 minced chipotle chiles in adobo (7 oz. can) or (4 ounce) can green chilies
1 (8 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth or (14 1/2 ounce) cans water
1 cup frozen corn
1⁄2 cup choppen fresh cilantro
4 cups baked corn tortilla chips

Directions

Heat the oil in large stockpot over medium high heat. Add the chicken and garlic and cook for 3 minutes until chicken is browned on both sides, stirring frequently.
Add oregano and stir to coat chicken. Stir in minced chipotle(or green chiles), tomatoes, broth, and corn. Turn the heat to high and bring to boil.
Turn heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 10 minute until chicken is cooked through.
