Instructions

  1. Sauté garlic, onion, carrots, and celery with olive oil and butter until the onions become translucent. If using raw chicken, add it to the pot with the veggies.
  2. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, and simmer for at least 30 minutes. If using cooked chicken, add it at this time. A longer simmer will create a more flavorful soup.

Notes

* seasoning measurements are minimums; add more if desired.

  • This tortilla soup adapts well to a slow cooker. Simply combine all the ingredients and turn the heat to medium-low and let it cook all day.
  • Make it company-worthy by serving crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and freshly chopped cilantro on the side. Allow guests to top their own soup. If time permits, freshly baked bread is always nice (jalapeno focaccia perhaps?).
  • Store leftover tortilla soup with chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months (you can buy the containers locally at Walmart or have them shipped via Amazon).
