Ingredients
- 2 masa harina
- 4 quarts water
- 3 cups onions (diced yellow)
- 2 cups tomatoes (crushed)
- 1/2 pound process american cheese
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup chicken base
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons granulated garlic
- 2 teaspoons cumin (ground)

In large pot, place oil, chicken base, onion and spices. Saute until onions are soft and clear, about 5 minutes In another container, combine masa harina with 1 quart water. Stir until all lumps dissolve. Add to sauteed onions, bring to boil. Once mixture starts to bubble, continue cooking 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. This will eliminate any raw taste from masa harina. Add remaining 3 quarts water to pot. Add tomatoes; let mixture return to boil stirring occasionally. Add cheese to soup. Cook stirring occasionally, until cheese melts. Add chicken; heat through. Makes 1 1/2 gallons or 16-20 servings. NOTE: Recipe can be halved
