What Is Chicken Tortilla Soup?<\/h2>\r\n\"Toh\r\n\r\nWhile nobody knows who invented chicken tortilla soup, the first tortilla soup can be traced back to Mexico City, Mexico, where variations of this famed recipe have been around for generations.\r\n\r\nThe authentic Mexican version consists of fried corn tortilla pieces stirred into a flavorful tomato-based broth loaded with spices, roasted chiles, onions and garlic. Chicharron (fried pork belly or pork rinds), rather than chicken, is a common addition too. In the U.S., the recipe often gets a Tex-Mex or southwest spin with additions like black beans, corn and a simplified spice profile.\r\n\r\nWith that being said, authentic or not, I've never met a chicken tortilla soup recipe (or turkey tortilla soup<\/a>) I didn't like. Keep reading to see if Ree's recipe lives up to the hype (it's fair to say the odds are in her favor).\r\n
