Chicken Tortilla Soup

by

chicken tortilla soup

This chicken tortilla soup is sure to warm you up over the cold winter months.  We had a little taste of Spring like weather this week, but now old man winter is back.  My friend Kristin shared this chicken tortilla soup with me.  It’s delicious and perfect for a cold winter day.


You can make it in a slow cooker, but Kristin typically just throws everything into a pot an hour or so beforehand. The ingredients should simmer for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to blend.  Do not BOIL, but set your stove top to simmer.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  Some great topping ideas for the chicken tortilla soup are shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips or tortilla strips, green onion and sour cream.
