what is chicken tortilla soup

Chicken tortilla soup is a Mexican tomato-based dish made with shredded chicken and various spices such as cumin, chili powder and oregano, topped with tortilla strips for extra crunch.

tips and tricks for success

• Use good quality material.The better your broth, the better your soup. Many brands love to add salt, so always opt for an unsalted or low-sodium variety. Homemade broth is even better.
• Use bone-in chicken.While boneless, skinless chicken can certainly be used, bone-in chicken will add much more flavor and richness to the soup while keeping the meat tender.
• Make it vegetarian. Omit the chicken, add an extra can of black beans, and replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth.
• Mix it up. Add 1/2 cup heavy cream for a creamier soup, 1 diced jalapeno for a kick of heat, or substitute diced tomatoes and green chiles for just diced tomatoes for milder flavors.
• Add your favorite toppings. Avocado, shredded Mexican cheese blend, cilantro, a squeeze of fresh lime juice, crispy tortilla strips (or crushed tortilla chips when you’re in a hurry) are all great options.
