Soup of The Day: Chicken Tortilla

Today I am continuing my "Soup Series" and sharing a soup that has quickly become one of my favorites.  My friend, Amy, brought this to my house after my son was born and I fell in love with it.  First off, it's a crockpot soup, so it's perfect for this busy time of year, and second of all it makes a big pot...which means leftovers!  What's better than soup for dinner?  Leftover soup the next day!


Here's what you need:  3 boneless chicken breasts, 2 cans of lime & cilantro Rotel, 1 can of kidney beans, 1 can of black beans, 1 can of corn, 2 cans of low sodium chicken broth, 1-2 cups of water, 1 packet of taco seasoning, tortilla chips, sour cream and shredded cheese.  


First off, drain and rinse the black beans and kidney beans.  


Place the chicken breasts in the bottom of your crockpot and pour the remaining ingredients on top of the chicken.  


Cook on low for 8 hours.  Shred the chicken and return to the crockpot.  Stir to combine.


I like to crush up some tortilla chips on the bottom of my bowl, ladle the soup over the chips, and top it with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.  Perfect!


Just in case you missed my other soups...

  7. I seriously just might have to make this one. Can you believe my husband will not eat anything out of a can? It really limits me on making stuff like this. I could bring this for my lunch though so I may just have to try it. :)

    1. Oh my, I bet that makes cooking really hard. Especially this time of year when soups and casseroles are so easy.

  9. Emily your Tortilla Soup was delicious and super easy! Even my youngest son who is so picky, loved it! He ate two bowls of it! On a side note...I cut corn tortillas into strips and fried them, instead of using chips. They were yummy! Thanks for sharing. I always love your recipes, I can't wait to try the tortellini soup next week.
