Step 1
Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add olive oil and butter and heat until the butter is melted.
Step 3
Add the onion, celery, garlic, green chili's, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and sauté until translucent and slightly tender. About 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Sprinkle in the flour and stir until there are no more clumps and the flour is incorporated into the veggies. About 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Slowly add in chicken stock, stirring constantly to avoid any clumps.
Step 6
Add thyme leaves, bay leaf, buffalo sauce, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper (if needed) and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer for 30-45 minutes.
Step 7
While soup is simmering, preheat oven to 175ºC / 350ºF / Gas Mark 4.
Step 8
Brush both sides of each corn tortilla with the 2 tsp of olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
Cut each tortilla into 8 pieces.
Step 9
Spread on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 10 minutes.
Step 10
Pull the tortillas out of the oven, sprinkle with blue cheese, and continue to cook for another 5 minutes or until the chips are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
Step 11
Add chicken to the soup and heat through. About 5 minutes.
Step 12
Remove bay leaf & thyme sprigs, stir in parsley and cilantro, and add a bit more salt and pepper if needed.
Step 13
Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with a dollop of plain greek yogurt or sour cream and serve with the bleu cheese tortilla chips.
