Hello! I used to think that making soup at home was super difficult and would take forever. But this is a super easy chicken tortilla soup recipe. It tastes like it’s made from scratch and it kinda sorta is… but there are a few shortcuts that make it fast!
First – you need shredded chicken. You can shred a chicken breast you made at home, some rotisserie chicken or make chicken with salsa in the crock-pot.

I used the salsa chicken I made this weekend during meal prep. When I was portioning everything out I put 1 cup of the shredded chicken in a big glass bowl and added the other ingredients.
Then, I let it set overnight and heated it up the next day.

November is the perfect time for soup in Ontario, Canada.
I’ll be giving this recipe a go.

I love tortilla soup! If you’ve got a little more time, cut up your corn tortillas and fry them up! So, so good and my favorite part. I will also add a little rice and lime juice.
I can’t wait to try making this chicken tortilla soup. It looks so good that it could be on 3d printing. The avocado on top makes it looks so fancy.
The tortilla soup sounds delicious. Great for a fall night!
