Hello Friends! It is a great time to make some soup for a meal.  This homemade Tortilla Soup recipe comes together easily with flavors of chicken, tortillas, and vegetables, for a wonderful hot meal.

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 it can be made with baked chicken breasts or leftover cooked chicken.

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.

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.

This Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe is so easy and tasty!

    This is one of my favorite recipes. I've never tried to make it myself, but I love the idea of it for a cold day. Or any day, really.

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.
