Easy and Comforting. It only takes twenty minutes and 5-Ingredients tto make this Mexican Chicken and Tortilla soup with LOTS of topping options! I list options in the recipe below.

I’ve even made this Mexican Chicken and Tortilla Soup with sausage instead of the chicken; it’s so versatile. If you like cream tortilla soup, add heavy cream after your soup is heated through. Add a 1/4 cup of heavy cream at a time until you get to the creaminess you like. Yes to all the cream!

Ingredients

• 4 cups chicken stock
• 1 lb of shredded rotisserie chicken or any shredded/diced cooked chicken. (about 4 cups) You could also substitute cooked ground sausage,
• 2 (10 oz) cans red enchilada sauce (mild or medium)
• 1 (14 oz) can fire-roasted tomatoes, diced
• 1 (14 oz) can creamed corn
• Corn tortillas to thicken (optional, see note)
• Toppings (optional) sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, corn chips, avocado, sliced radishes

Instructions

1. Put everything in a stockpot and simmer on medium heat until it simmers.
2. See notes regarding thickening.
3. Serve with toppings as desired.

Notes

To Thicken:

• Add 5-10 torn corn tortillas if you like a thicker soup, and let simmer. Start with 5 and add more until your desired consistency. (The torn tortillas will thicken the soup as they soften and disperse into the liquid)
• Or mix 1-2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/3 cup of the hot soup. Mix until dissolved and add the mixture back to the soup and simmer.

Options:

• Add a 1/4 cup of cream for a cream tortilla soup
• Add a can of beans
• Pro Tip: If your soup is ever too spicy, try adding something sweet (sugar, honey, etc.), or more liquid (water, canned tomatoes, or broth), or a bit of heavy cream if you like a creamy tortilla soup.
