Easy chicken tortilla soup

This Chicken tortilla soup is the perfect meal for those chilly winter nights…enjoy!

Although sancocho is my first choice when it comes to hearty soups, I can’t deny that chicken tortilla soup is also one of my favorites. Many people might feel that tortilla soup requires a lot prep time compared to other soups, but I assure you this one is very simple…and oh! so good!

My friend Marisol shared with me her traditional Mexican recipe,(this is an adaptation from it) and since then, it has become one of my family’s favorite dishes.

I think I love Mexican food…Don’t believe me? Check these salsa verde, tacos and pico de gallo y guacamole  posts for more Mexican cuisine inspired recipes.

 

Recipe for chicken tortilla soup.

  • 1 cup of cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie chicken is perfect for this recipe!)
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 4 tomatoes, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 fresh red peppers, roasted on the stove burner, seeded and cleaned
  • 2 corn ears, roasted on the stove burner
  • 4 to 5 cups of chicken stock
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 corn tortillas cut into strips
  • Oil to fry the tortillas

To garnish

  • Shredded cheese
  • avocado
  • cilantro
  • sour cream
Preparation
-Using a knife, remove the kernels from the roasted corn ears and set aside.
-In a blender, blend the onions, peppers, tomatoes, cumin,  about 1/2 cup of the corn tortilla strips and garlic.
-Heat the 2 tablespoon of oil in a large pot. Pour the blended vegetable mixture and let it cook on medium heat.
-Pour in the chicken stock, add the shredded chicken, roasted corn, salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes
For the garnish
-Heat oil in a frying pan and fry the remaining tortilla strips until crisp. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt
-Pour soup into individual bowls and garnish with the tortillas, cheese, sour cream, chopped cilantro and avocado
This recipe doesn’t call for Jalapeño but you can add some for a nice kick!

Make this recipe and don’t forget to share!

Happy Cooking!

    You kill me with these recipes! This looks delicious. Not cream based but not so thin it’s like the liquid from salsa (I hate when it’s like that). This looks rich and hearty.
