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.

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!
