Why You Will Love This Recipe

Easy. This homemade rotisserie Tortilla Soup recipe comes together easily with flavors of chicken, tortillas, and vegetables, for a wonderful hot meal. You can use a rotisserie chicken from your favorite grocery store or from Sams Club or Costco.

Delicious. It is a perfect winter soup as it is very comforting too. I usually make it by using a rotisserie chicken to save some time, but of course, it can be made with baked chicken breasts or leftover cooked chicken. The vegetables and spices make it very flavorful and colorful.

Cheap. This is a very inexpensive chicken soup to make, especially if you can get a $5 rotisserie chicken from Costco. The other ingredients are items you likely have in your pantry making this an easy budget meal idea.

Rotisserie Chicken Tortilla Soup

If you like your soup spicy, you can add a little more chili powder or ¼ teaspoon of jalapenos. I would recommend that you taste it first so that it has just the right about of spice you like.

This soup is so delicious with tortillas too!

timesaving tips to streamline recipes

Use rotisserie chicken if you do not have the time to make or defrost cooked chicken breasts.

Chop up the bell peppers ahead of time and store in the oven until ready to make this soup.

This soup can be made ahead as long as you don't add the tortilla chips, cheese, and avocado until serving.

What to Serve with Chicken Tortilla Soup

For the toppings, you can serve with sliced avocados, shredded cheese or salsa.

Chicken tortilla soup goes great with a quesadilla, side salad, sandwich or as a first course to any Mexican entree.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
