Chicken Tortilla Soup is full of delicious Mexican flavors yet is rarely something I order when dining out. I perfected my chicken tortilla soup recipe so we can enjoy it anytime! This recipe is great for a simple weeknight dinner or a warm, cozy meal on a cold day.
Salsa contributes a lot of the flavor to this soup, so be sure to pick a salsa you like! I’ve used my homemade salsa and store-bought, and it turns out great every time. Enjoy!
