Mexican Tortilla Soup is an unexpected treat when you're looking for a warming way to start your meal. Why, it's even hearty enough for a light meal all by itself or with a salad or quesadillas.
What You'll Need
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, coarsely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 1/4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 1 (10-ounce) package frozen whole kernel corn
- 1/2 cup salsa
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 cup broken-up baked tortilla chips
What to Do
-
In a soup pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add chicken, bell pepper, and garlic and cook about 3 minutes, or until chicken is browned, stirring frequently.
-
Stir in chicken broth, corn, and salsa; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 5 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink.
- Stir in cilantro, ladle into bowls, and serve topped with tortilla chips.

I usually have corn tortillas so I cut them into strips and fry them in a little oil to make my own tortilla chips.

Delicious! Instead of corn, I used black beans. Also, I used the Fresh Gourmet Crispy Jalapeno lightly salted strips instead of tortilla strips. Also topped with avocado.

My favorite Mexican restaurant always serves this soup with thin strips of flour tortillas added to the soup just before serving. It's a very different result and equally delicious. The soup is also served with wedges of lime to be squeezed into the bowl to your own taste preference; the result is outstanding.
