Instructions
  1. In a large soup pot, add oil and sauté onion, yellow pepper, tomato, garlic, oregano and bay leaf until onion softens, approximately five minutes.
  2. Add chicken broth and shredded meat; simmer for five minutes. Remove bay leaf, add lime juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Divide equally among four bowls, and garnish each with cilantro and a lime slice. Serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread, if desired.
  4. Tip: Add the lime juice just before serving; any earlier and it makes the soup bitter.
