Quick + Easy 30-Minute Chicken Tortilla Soup

A spicy, flavorful, 30-minute chicken tortilla soup made with fire roasted tomatoes, shredded chicken breast, black beans, corn, avocado and spices!

Chicken tortilla soup is one of those soups that you can enjoy at any time of year. It can literally be 90 degrees outside but a spicy chicken tortilla soup with LOTS of lime is sometimes the perfect weeknight dinner! Plus, it’s a one-pot meal. One-pot meals are my jam! Did you see my one-pot vegetarian paella? It’s DELISH.

There are tons of chicken tortilla soup recipes out there but this one is mine. Here’s why I love it.

• It’s a great way to use up leftover chicken or a great way to use store-bought rotisserie chicken. This is another way to use rotisserie chicken.
• It’s great for meal prep. (hello soup all week!)
• It’s a quick weeknight meal. Only 30-minutes!
• It also has the best toppings ever. Don’t you just love toppings!?

How To Make Chicken Tortilla Soup

First, you sauté some onion and garlic with olive oil and then add oregano, cumin, tomatoes, and chicken stock. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

If you don’t like chunky soups, blend the ingredients until desired consistency by either transferring the soup to a high-speed blender or by using an immersion blender. Next, add the black beans, corn, and shredded chicken. Simmer for another 10 minutes. You can use leftover chicken or buy a rotisserie chicken and shred that baby up!

Ladle soup into bowls. Top with jalapeño slices, shredded cheese, avocado, green onions, tortilla strips, cilantro and don’t forget that squeeze of lime.

Btw, you can also make your own tortilla strips by cutting a tortilla into thin slices and frying it up. Either way, it gives a delicious crunch to a hearty, chunky soup.

Oh and also, I made the soup with fire roasted tomatoes because I love the spice but you can totally use regular diced tomatoes if you’re not into that kinda stuff. If you can’t find fire roasted tomatoes, you can use regular diced tomatoes with some cayenne pepper to taste.

How good does that look!? So without further ado, here’s a simple meal for any day of the week!

I hope you make it and LOVE it!
