Chicken Tortilla Soup

This soup was absolutely delicious. I doubled it to freeze for lunches through the month. I pureed the vegetable part of the soup while I took the chicken out and shredded it (for my grandma)… and it was soooo good. She and I both give it four spoons!

Good based recipe that can be added to. I added two cans of tomatoes and went heavy on the cumin. At the end i added chopped cilantro and green onions along with the lime juice.

We loved this soup. Will definitely make it again. I used spicy chili style tomatoes, and added a can of black beans. Big hit!

Made it for the first time and everyone loved it. I took some advice from the reviews and added a can of Ro-Tel and a half a cube of boullion as well as cilantro. A dash of Tajin in my bowl added to the flavor as well as shredded cheese.

I doubled the amount of cumin, added 1 can of drained and rinsed black beans, red pepper flakes and 8 oz. of processed cheese sauce. I omitted the lime juice. It is delicious and quick to fix.

Have to disagree with others, too bland for me. Will try to turn it into Chili with a lot more flavor.

This was a great mid-week -- already have most of the ingredients -- recipe! used the breast from a grocery store rotisserie chicken. Cooked some on-hand tortillas brushed with olive oil and lightly salted @ 400 degrees for 8-9 minutes on a cookie sheet. (thanks for that tip from another reviewer!) Used only one can of RoTel tomatoes (must do!) and used a small canned corn. Used the entire 32 oz of chicken broth. Plenty spicy. Also added a handful of cilantro plus added some at serving. Used a full lime for juice. Also used a red onion and a red bell pepper (because that's what I had). yum!

Super fast and simple. Used leftover shredded turkey, and added a couple tablespoons of Rotel to spice it up. Threw in a half can of black beans too. Great recipe to use up leftovers.

我用剩下的煮熟的鸡,而不是开始with raw chicken breast. I skipped the bell pepper simply because I didn't have any. The main change I made to the seasoning is that I added some chipotle pepper in adobe sauce (when I open a can, I throw it in the blender and store in a jar in the fridge). I offered cilantro for serving, as well as cotija cheese. A LOT of flavor for not a lot of effort. Would definitely make again.

Great recipe for leftover chicken. It's a nice change of pace. The 2 cans of Rotel and a can of diced jalapeno works just fine, instead of the tomatoes. I threw some bullion in as another Reviewer mentioned. Same with handful of cilantro. This will be a nice option in my rotation.

I made a few minor changes/additions that I'll share as the result was delicious. I also added 3 Tbls of Liquid Tajin as well as chopped carrots and celery. as I did not have a can of diced tomatoes, I used 1/2 cup of tomatoe sauce and diced two whole tomatoes instead. I also used a pre-roasted chicken, legs etc. shredded. I saved the breasts for another meal. Finished with fresh lime juice, cilantro and tortilla chips just before serving. Excellent!

我的思维是什么?制作一个新的汤顾ests? I took no chances. Read through all the reviews and used the tips. It was terrific. A really hearty soup. I charred my peppers in a cast iron before dicing them up, I used sweet corn which I had frozen from summer harvest which I believe made the soup especially sweet. The handful of cilantro was a great tip (thanks NeilMCC), I found the broken tortillas to be a great serving detail, the crunch was really fun and tasty. So YES will make again and thanks everyone for the great reviews. They gave me confidence to serve something new without having experimented ahead of time!

Easy palate-pleaser full of fresh vegetable goodness. I made it with fresh chicken broth and barbecue roasted corn, using a bit of smoked paprika to play up the deep roasted flavor. We served it with diced avocado and Greek yoghurt on the side for a soul-satisfying dinner. I did simmer the veggies for a bit longer than called for in the recipe and added diced leftover roast chicken at the last moment. I could also imagine this with crumbled cotija cheese sprinkled on it.

Will definitely save to my favorites and make again. Would have given it four stars but loved it with my alterations. It is very easy to make, fast and healthy. Read the reviews and altered this one a bit. I used one 10 oz can of Rotel in addition to a 15 oz can of stewed tomatoes that I cut up with kitchen scissors. I added an additional 1/2 tsp of cumin, an additional 1/2 cup of corn and about 6 shakes of cayenne pepper. Lastly, instead of chicken breasts I used chicken breast tenderloins. The chicken was so tender...excellent flavors. Topped with a little grated sharp cheddar and cilantro. Instead of purchased tortilla strips I used corn tortillas brushed with olive oil and cut into strips, sprinkled with course sea salt and baked them until lightly brown (400 degrees). Delicious meal for a cold winter night for sure!
