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.

Excellent! I used a lemon pepper rotisserie chicken from the store that I just pulled the meat off of. I cooked onion with garlic, salt, pepper, and cumin prior to adding the chicken. I also added cilantro, black beans, and a can of green chilis to the soup. I also added a thing of lime juice. My husband is Mexican, and his only complaint about this dish was "not enough lime juice" (he likes his lime!!). Excellent with sour cream, avacado, and cheese on top.

My family and I thought this was delicious! I left out the tortilla chips and served premade ones on the side as a topping along with green onions, cheese, and sour cream. I double the broth and salsa (my family's liking) and added diced green chilis. This one is a keeper!

This recipe is a great starting place for making a really tasty tortilla soup. I added spanish rice (cooked a box and added half), doubled the amount of broth b/c of the rice, added corn, shredded the chicken, used multigrain tortilla chips rather than making them, put half an avocado in at serving time. Delish!

This was really quite tasty and very easy! I only had flour tortillas at home (instead of corn tortillas), but it was pretty good that way!

Yummy and EASY! I added cayenne pepper, and hot sauce to give it a little extra kick. Also, added a little minced garlic to the chicken while it was browning. I think next time I'll shred the chicken. Overall it was very good & quick!!
