The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup

The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe – This fresh and healthy tortilla soup recipe is easy to make and an absolute crowd-pleaser.

It would seem that everyone has their own version of chicken tortilla soup. Some are thick like gravy. Some thin and watery.

I prefer a thin, but not watery, broth-based chicken tortilla soup with lots of veggies and toppings. Today’s Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe is exactly how I like it. Rich, zesty, and ultra comforting, with a slightly spicy finish. I developed this easy chicken tortilla soup recipe years ago and would venture to say it is my most requested recipe, both with personal friends and blog readers.
