Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

Added chili powder and it improved the dish. Added sour cream and tortilla chips as a garnish

Made It, Loved It

Especially loved the tortilla strips. I used white beans instead.

I was worried that it wouldn't have enough flavor, but its very good. Follow the recipe.

Made it in the instant pot on the saute function.

Preheat a pan with 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat. Cut tortillas into thin strips and fry them in batches in the hot oil until crisp. Remove from the pan and allow them to drain on a paper towel. Repeat with remaining tortilla strips, adding more oil as needed then set aside. Chicken Tortilla Soup: Preheat a pot with oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion, garlic and chopped jalapeño and sauté until veggies soften. Add whole chicken breasts, corn, beans, chilli powder, cumin, crushed tomatoes, salt, ¼ cup of cilantro and chicken broth. Bring to a boil and let simmer for at least 25 minutes. Remove chicken from the pot and shred it using 2 forks. Add shredded chicken back to the soup and simmer another 5 minutes then add lime juice. Serve the soup with some tortilla strips, pieces of avocado, fresh cilantro and lime wedges.

Turned out excellent, went directly by the recipe. Family loves it. Made myself a vegetarian version with no chicken or broth - still great! Next time may make more spicy

Homemade tortillas sound delicious. It's also good with fritos, shredded cheese, and sour cream. 😉

Very good and easy
