Chick-Fil-A chicken tortilla soup
A work-in-progress to copy Chick-fil-A’s chicken tortilla soup. When I last compared my recipe to their soup it was nearly identical. Since then, I’ve made a few tweaks to get it perfect, but I’ll have to wait until they start selling it again to compare.
Some notes to get the recipe perfect:
Salt level is going to be dependent on how much salt is in each ingredient. For the brands I used, it came out to around 3 tsp kosher salt.
Lemons vary in acidity. If you’re worried about it being too lemony, add a little at a time, mix together, then taste.
Masa brands can also vary. One brand I tried was not good. Add a little at a time if you’re worried. You can omit it, but the soup won’t be as thick as Chick-fil-A’s.
