#HousefulofSoups 30 Minute Meal chicken kid-friendly main dish one pot recipe soup

Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup

This ridiculously Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe utilizes rotisserie chicken, is cooked in one pot from beginning to end, and is ready in less than 30 minutes!

Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup #HousefulOfSoups | Mama Harris' KitchenI feel like Chicken Tortilla Soup is the kind of soup everyone loves, even people that aren’t really soup people – if you know what I mean. This soup just has a ton of texture and flavors, without noodles or rice. In a way it’s sort of a stew because of it’s heartiness. Either way, it’s a sought after soup recipe and I’m finally sharing my version after making it and perfecting it for years.

Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup #HousefulOfSoups | Mama Harris' KitchenSoup is my son Dev’s comfort food favorite, and this is top tier goodness for him. I like to mix some of the chopped cilantro into the base of the recipe with the onions and garlic, sauteeing it with the chopped jalapeno and the canned corn. I also add some of the cheese to the actual soup to thicken it up a bit, then also adding as a topping. I love picking up a Rotisserie chicken every week at Costco to use in quick meals, and it’s perfection in this soup! This recipe is ready in under 30 minutes, thanks to delicious precooked chicken!
