    What You\u2019ll Need To Make Chicken Tortilla Soup<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Chicken:<\/strong> I use boneless skinless chicken breasts for this soup\u2014they do not need to be pre-cooked or browned. You can replace it with chicken thighs or leftover\u00a0rotisserie chicken (see recipe notes). Frozen chicken can also be used;<\/span> just allow more time for cooking.<\/li>\n
    • Seasoning:<\/strong> Use a packet or make homemade taco seasoning.<\/li>\n
    • Vegetables:<\/strong> Onions, Rotel tomatoes, and corn add flavor to this chicken tortilla soup. <\/li>\n
    • Broth:<\/strong> I prefer chicken broth in this recipe, but you can use beef or vegetable broth. Low-sodium chicken broth works well too.<\/li>\n
    • Tortilla Strips:<\/strong> Homemade tortillas taste best in this recipe and are super easy to make, or you can buy them. Short on time? Crush up some tortilla chips or Fritos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
        \n
      • Stretch the chicken further by adding extra vegetables, like green bell pepper or zucchini, and broth.<\/li>\n
      • Add 2 cups extra broth to the soup and add cooked white rice to the bottom of each bowl to stretch the soup further. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

              For the tortilla strips, cut the tortillas into \u00bc-inch strips. In a small pan, heat \u00bc cup of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Add the tortillas, in small batches to the oil and fry them until they are crisp, about 1 minute per side. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel. While warm, sprinkle with salt to taste.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and jalape\u00f1o to the pot, and cook until the onion is softened about 3 to 4 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

            • \n

            • \n
