How To Make chicken tortilla soup

  • 1
    You can cook this in a slow cooker or gently on the stove top - you can add the half and half toward the end of the cooking time but don't let it boil! Evap. milk is a little more forgiving but I like fresh milk better.
  • 2
    Combine all ingredients EXCEPT the tortilla chips and cheddar cheese.
  • 3
    Simmer for at least an hour to let flavors blend
  • 4
    Crush tortilla chips in the bottom of a bowl. Add soup and sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. You can also add sliced green onion, sour cream, etc. Whatever floats your boat!
