Why Everyone Is Obsessed With This 30-Minute Chicken Tortilla Soup

Chicken Tortilla Soup — cozy, simple, and on the table in about 30 minutes, with homemade tortilla chips on the side. Soup weather is almost here, and this one comes straight from a viewer's kitchen. Stephanie sent us her family's chicken tortilla soup — tender chicken thighs, carrots, and sweet onion simmered in a chili-cumin tomato broth — plus her homemade tortilla chips for dipping and topping. It tastes so much like the soup at our favorite Mexican restaurant that it's going straight into our rotation. Top it with cheese, avocado, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime, and I think your family will love it too. 📌 PRINTABLE RECIPE: https://marykatherinestable.com/chicken-tortilla-soup/ INGREDIENTS: SOUP • 1–2 tablespoons olive oil (a good drizzle) • 1 small sweet onion (like Vidalia), chopped • 4 carrots, washed and sliced into thin rounds • 2 tablespoons chili powder • 1½ teaspoons (½ tablespoon) ground cumin • 1½ quarts (6 cups) chicken broth • 1 (28-ounce) can petite diced tomatoes, with juice • 1½ teaspoons salt (start with 1, adjust to taste) • ½ teaspoon black pepper • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed HOMEMADE TORTILLA CHIPS • 4 corn tortillas, each cut into 8 wedges • About ½ inch vegetable oil for frying • Kosher salt TOPPINGS • Shredded Monterey Jack cheese • Diced avocado • Lime wedges • Chopped fresh cilantro CHAPTERS: 0:00 Stephanie's Viewer Recipe 0:41 Ingredients 1:58 Chopping the Veggies 3:06 Sautéing Carrots & Onions 4:09 Blooming the Spices 5:03 Broth, Tomatoes & Seasoning 6:01 Adding the Chicken 6:40 Homemade Tortilla Chips 9:31 Prepping the Toppings 11:40 Seasoning to Taste & Serving 13:21 Darren's Taste Test 15:23 Final Thoughts If you loved this soup, you might also enjoy: 👉 Easy White Chicken Chili: https://youtu.be/IFdbEj3S48Y 👉 Cozy Chicken and Rice Soup: https://youtu.be/uZcGP5hjvxY 👉 Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream Sauce: https://youtu.be/lP2LDERU4oQ 👉 Bean and Bacon Soup: https://youtu.be/CW9ZfXNnMM0 New here?
