Chicken Tortilla Soup

Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and sear for 2 minutes on each side. Then add the veggies and saute for 5 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except coconut milk and tortilla chips, bring to a boil and then turn heat to low and let simmer while covered for 30 minutes. Remove chicken and shred it with two forks. With the chicken removed, add the coconut milk and tortilla chips then blend the soup & veggies with an immersion blender or in small batches with a regular blender. Add the chicken back in and serve with your toppings.
