If Mexican-inspired soups are your jam during the cooler months, this chicken tortilla soup should definitely be on your must-try list. While most soups need to simmer on the stove or in a slow cooker for hours, this soup only needs about 20 minutes on the heat. This is largely thanks to a rotisserie chicken, which you just need to strip and shred before adding to your soup.<\/p>\n
To really bring out the flavors in this savory Mexican-inspired soup<\/a>, prep your toppings ahead, and feel free to go overboard\u2014no one says you can only choose two toppings.<\/p>\n If you need to use up a package of flour tortillas<\/a>, preheat your oven to 375\u00b0F and bake your lightly oiled and salted tortillas until crispy. Chop into 1\/2-inch strips with a sharp knife, and you’ll have some perfectly crispy tortilla strips. If you really want to impress, make your own corn tortillas<\/a>, bake them and chop them into strips the same way you would for flour tortillas.<\/p>\n A squeeze of lime adds brightness and freshness to this easy chicken tortilla soup. You can serve limes on the side in a little bowl or on top of a dollop of sour cream and sliced avocado. This will really give your soup a citrusy punch. Like a bit more heat in your soups? Slice a fresh jalapeno to add to the soup with grated pepper jack cheese.<\/p>\n In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Saute onion until tender, about five minutes. Add the chiles, garlic, jalapeno and cumin; cook for one more minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato sauce, tomatoes and broth. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce the heat and stir in the chicken.<\/p>\n Simmer the soup, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Add the cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Portion the soup into serving bowls and top each bowl with cheese and chopped chips or tortilla strips.<\/p>\n This pressure cooker chicken tortilla soup<\/a> is an easy way to dump all your ingredients into one spot and cook in a short time. If you prefer a long simmer time so you can enjoy the scent of this delicious soup wafting through your kitchen, try a slow cooker chicken tortilla soup<\/a>.<\/p>\n Just like most other types of soup, this recipe is great to save in the freezer for later. Skip freezing the chips, cheese or any other toppings. We suggest freezing the soup<\/a> in small containers so it\u2019s easier to defrost leftovers. And don\u2019t forget to label it! Mark each container with the recipe name and the date prepared. Frozen chicken tortilla soup lasts for four to six months in the freezer.<\/p>\n If your soup is looking a little thin, thicken it with cornstarch. You\u2019ll want to make a slurry by combining a tablespoon of cornstarch with an equal amount of water in a small bowl. Whisk the mixture until a smooth paste forms. Then, add the slurry to your soup and stir well over medium-high heat until the soup starts to thicken.<\/p>\n Besides your favorite\u00a0margaritas<\/a>? A whole bunch of tasty sides! We recommend serving chicken tortilla soup with cornbread, crackers or a fresh salad. Still hungry? Pair your soup with a hot sandwich recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s nothing quite like an easy soup recipe on a busy night.

How do I thicken chicken tortilla soup? <\/h3>\r\nIf your soup is looking a little thin, thicken it with cornstarch.

Then, add the slurry to your soup and stir well over medium-high heat until the soup starts to thicken.\r\n\r\n
What are the best toppings for chicken tortilla soup? <\/h3>\r\nWell, that depends on your palate! We\u2019re fond of crushed chips and shredded cheese, but you could also top chicken tortilla soup with sour cream, avocado slices, chopped green onions or pico de gallo. Looking for a little extra kick? Try adding a few slices of jalapeno\u2014just be sure you wear gloves when cutting the hot peppers as the oils can burn your skin. \r\n\r\n
