Quick Chicken Tortilla Soup
5 mins prepServes 6
Soup season! Oh yea, and this on takes less then 20 minutes. And I use fresh corn tortillas to thicken soup! Break them up and add them. They disappear while cooking and provide both thickening and flavor.
Put everything in a stockpot and simmer on medium heat until it simmers. To thicken the soup, you have two options: 1. Add 5-10 torn corn tortillas and let simmer; start with 5 and add more until desired consistency. The torn tortillas will thicken the soup as they soften and disperse. 2. Alternatively, mix 1-2 Tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/3 cup of the hot soup until dissolved, then add the mixture back to the soup and simmer. Serve with optional toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro, corn chips, avocado, or sliced radishes.
