Well, it is definitely the flu season in my house! I’ve been hacking away for well over 5 days and today seems to be the worst of them. Usually, I’ll make a big pot of chicken noodle soup but sometimes you just want a big bowl of cheesy chicken tortilla soup instead. Plus, a lot of OJ and Mucinex. What do you guys do whenever you get a cold or start getting sick? Let me know in the comments below. I remember this being a soup that my brother and I would always like, whenever my Mom made it. It was my favorite growing up as a kid and still continues to be today.
How to make Chicken Tortilla Soup
First, you cook the chicken in a skillet. If you wanted to save time you could use some rotisserie chicken and just add the taco seasoning to the pot with the chicken stock. Rub that chicken breast really well with the taco seasoning and then add it to a nonstick skillet with some butter. Cook them on each side. While the chicken is cooking you can start off the rest of the soup. Add some onions to a pan and cook those until they are translucent. Then add in the rest of the canned ingredients, milk, and cheese. This becomes such a rich and creamy soup and you can top it with whatever toppings you like. I like Tostitos scoops cause it’s fun to scoop up the soup inside the chip. Then I’ll add in some extra cheese and green onions. You could add in some black beans and corn to this as well. The soupabilities are endless! Recipe adapted from Krista’s Kitchen via Tasty Kitchen 4.7 from 3 reviews
