Love easy and delicious soup recipes? Then you’ve got to try my White Chicken Chili and my Lasagna Soup!
Homemade Chicken Tortilla Soup
We are in the midst of soup season, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been eating soup almost every other night. From my Lasagna Soup and Stuffed Pepper Soup to my Turkey Meatball Vegetable Soup and Instant Pot Chicken Noodle Soup, I just can’t get enough of it. This quick and easy chicken tortilla soup is loaded with all of my favorite Mexican-inspired ingredients — cilantro, lime juice, avocado, tortilla chips, and, of course, the ultra-flavorful tomatoey broth. It’s slightly spicy and full of flavor! There is very little prep time for this recipe. With pre-shredded cooked chicken, it takes less than 10 minutes to put together and only 10 minutes to cook.
ingredients
Enchilada sauce: Homemade Enchilada Sauce or store bought enchilada sauce will work! Here is our favorite brand! Crushed tomatoes: Along with the enchilada and broth crushed tomatoes are the base of this soup! Chicken broth: I like to use low sodium chicken broth to be able to control the saltiness of the soup. Black beans: Canned black beans are added however you can use pinto beans or great northern beans instead! I usually rinse my beans to control the salt level! Rinsing your beans cuts the sodium amount in half! Sweet corn: I use frozen sweet corn to the soup although summer fresh corn would be amazing in this! Onion and Garlic: Add so much flavor to this soup!! I like to add 4 whole garlic cloves! Lime juice: Brightens up the soup and adds a nice acidity to it.
