d'chickin tortilla soup
Every Tuesday night is taco night at my house. I was tired of tacos, so I came up with this soup! For this recipe, I combined my favorite tortilla soup (Max and Erma's) and the soup I usually do. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
Blue Ribbon Recipe
When serving a crowd this super easy chicken tortilla soup will be perfect. Thick, creamy, and comforting, it's full of texture from veggies and beans. There is just the right amount of spice and heat. We love the pop of flavor of adding cilantro at the end of cooking the soup. Prepare this dump-and-go recipe in a slow cooker or stock pot. We opted for the stock pot, and the soup was ready in about 90 minutes.

How To Make d'chickin tortilla soup
Test Kitchen Tips
While cooking, we did add salt, pepper, and a few teaspoons of cumin. We boiled and shredded 3 large chicken breasts and used the broth it made in place of the canned broth.
-
Step 1In a large Crock Pot or stock pot, add the creamed soups, cheddar cheese soup, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and green chiles. Stir well.
-
Step 2Add chopped onion and garlic.
-
Step 3Add chili powder, salt and pepper (to taste), and any other seasonings you would like.
-
Step 4Stir in black beans, white hominy, and frozen corn.
-
Step 5Stir in shredded chicken. If using a stock pot, cook on medium heat for about an hour stirring occasionally. If using a Crock Pot, cook on low for 4-6 hours.
-
Step 6Add cheese and cilantro 1 hour before serving. Taste for seasonings. Add more salt, pepper, or more chili powder if needed.
-
Step 7While cooking, add water or more broth if it's too thick for you.
-
Step 8Garnish with tortilla strips or chips, light sour cream, and chives or chopped green onions! Even add sliced avocados to give it a California flare... yummy!
-
Step 9Notes!: I added cayenne pepper to my bowl for more kick but not to the whole pot... kids. Watch how much salt you add. Canned soups can have a lot of salt. Campbell's Heart Healthy is a good choice.
