Chicken Tortilla Soup
This Chicken Tortilla Soup is a Mexican-inspired dish which I could not live without! It is rich and tasty. It is full of Mexican flavors. If I have a hard week at work, I love to rustle up a pot of this on a Friday night and sit down to a hearty, warming bowl of Tex-Mex comfort food. I always make a bit extra so there is enough for second helpings or even for leftovers tomorrow!
In this spicy, brothy chicken soup, onion, garlic, black beans, and other delicious ingredients are simmered in a tomato and chicken broth base. Then I cook the chicken breasts in the soup mix. You could use leftover roast chicken if you have it. I love to top this soup with crispy grilled tortilla strips, a lime wedge, sliced avocado and cheese.
