Texas Tortilla Soup

Everybody needs a go to recipe. That recipe that they almost have the ingredients for and that they can whip up in their sleep. A lot of times, that recipe is also a fan-favorite. So if you don’t have one already, you should consider adding our Texas Tortilla Soup to your repertoire.

The best recipes are often the simplest and that is definitely the case here. Fresh, diced veggies, chopped chicken, chicken stock and a bunch of classic tortilla soup seasonings. Cook it all in one pan and in about an hour you will have a delicious soup bursting with fresh flavors.

If you balk at that one hour preparation time, don’t fret. Most of that time is spent with the soup bubbling away on its own, allowing all of those flavors to marry perfectly. What your left with is a tortilla soup that is way, way better than your average tortilla soup. So the people you feed it to may think they are just getting another generic soup, they are actually getting something deliciously different.

Oh, and did I mention toppings? Because, let’s be honest here, a soup is only as good as what you top it with. And with this being a tortilla soup, it only makes sense to put some nice, crispy tortilla chips in there. The crunch is a nice contrast of texture. We also included some tomatoes, avocados and cilantro for freshness and a little sour cream to bring a creaminess to the whole dish.

Of course, as good as toppings are, try not to put too many. Then you just end up with something more like soggy tortilla chips. But hey, who am i to judge if that’s how you like your soup. Just enjoy it!
