Salsa Shrimp Soup (By Lisa)

This is a recipe from my friend Allison. It requires a little work, but it makes a lot and tastes great!

1 tbs vegetable oil
1 pound shrimp, cooked and peeled
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (32 oz.) container chicken broth
1 (14 1/2 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1/3 c. salsa
1 (15 oz.) can corn, drained
1 avocado, diced
2 tbs. chopped cilantro
2/3 cup crushed tortilla chips
Lime and sliced green onion optional

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, cover, and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in broth, tomatoes, and salsa, increase heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Stir in drained corn, shrimp, and avocado, and heat through. Stir in cilantro and crushed tortilla chips, and serve immediately. Garnish with lime and green onion, if desired. Makes 8 cups.
