Chicken Tortilla Soup

photo by:kraft

A Southwestern cousin of mom’s chicken soup, this one has a little more kick with a crispy topping. And, like its best-loved relative, it’ll make you feel good all over.

We loved this!! We shredded the chicken and topped the soup with a little shredded cheddar and sour cream.

This is a favorite in our house! I boil and shred the chicken, am generous with the salsa, and add a can of black beans. The corn tortillas are super yummy! Love this soup!

This was fantastic. I added a can of black beans and used shredded chicken and pre-made tortilla strips and my family loved it (including my picky 5-year-old daughter). I will definitely make this again!!!

Delicious. I cut some of the time off by using store bought tortillas chips for the topping (instead of baking the 2 corn tortillas in the oven). I also used a small bag of pre-cooked chicken fahita meat. This was so easy, I will definitely make it again.

very delicious! I added some ground cumin and chili powder for some extra heat. Net time I will probably add black beans. So easy to make!

I made this last night, and i must say I was VERY Pleasantly suprised. My husband is Mexican and is very picky about his "mexican" food. I have made a tortilla soup that took much longer and had many complicated ingredients, but this simple recipe was WAY better. It was DELICIOUS!!!!! I could not stop saying WOW this is great. I did leave out the tortillas in the soup and just topped w/ crushed tortilla chips and it was still great! I used leftover chicken and just sauteed w/ some poultry seasoning, cumin, garlic/onion, then added the other ingredients (i also added half a can of diced tomatoes to make less spicy for my young kids...my kids loved it age 3, 7, and 9) Thanks Kraft for a great EASY recipe....A KEEPER!
