What is Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe?

A chicken tortilla soup recipe is a classic Mexican soup recipe. It has some simple ingredients like onion, garlic, tomatoes, beans, jalapenos, cilantro and of course, the chicken. This delicious mixture of ingredients is
simmered on a gentle flame and topped with crispy tortilla strips, avocado and cheese. Yeah, that’s all it is; that’s all you have to do to make a fresh and spicy chicken tortilla soup.

But is it Healthy?

This chicken tortilla soup recipe has an incredible flavor and is surprisingly healthy too. Although it doesn’t look exactly like a healthy meal,
it’s packed with protein and doesn’t have many calories either. This recipe is much healthier than other tortilla soup recipes because it has something special that makes it different. Yeah, you guessed it; it’s “chicken”, the source of protein in this recipe.

What goes well with the Chicken Tortilla Soup?

I think cooking is not complete until you show it off to your friends and family. So if you’re going to show off your cooking, you’ll need more than just a soup to impress someone. Well, you’re in luck because many recipes go with this soup.

Would you like some Toppings?

I have quite some toppings for this soup, but it looks great even without them. This classic Mexican chicken tortilla soup recipe can be garnished with almost anything. But a few toppings are more popular and for good reason. Crown your soup with some sliced black olives, some green chilies for a more natural feel or even some shredded cheddar.
