Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup

This Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup is SO natural to make and is brimming with your number one Mexican flavors! It's an incredible formula to make with extra chicken and makes an ideal cooler supper!

I generally eat much a greater amount of this soup than I should. I believe it's the equilibrium of the velvety stock joined with a tad of kick from the cayenne pepper and taco preparing. 

 

This is such a basic formula to make when you have extra rotisserie chicken, and it's amusing to try different things with different fixings as well.We should get into what you need, and how to ensure your soup is very smooth and rich.

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 1 Tablespoon flour, optional
• 2 Tablespoons butter
• ½ bell pepper, diced
• 1 small yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, diced
• 2 cups cooked chicken, rotisserie works well
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• ¾ cup sour cream, at room temperature
• 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning, 1 oz. packet
• 5 cups chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon cumin, optional
• 1 can diced tomatoes, NOT drained
• 3/4 cup corn
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
• Fresh Cilantro, roughly chopped, to garnish

 

Instructions

 

1. Shred the cheddar cheese and set it aside to allow it to get to room temperature.
2. Toss the cheese with 1 Tablespoon of flour. This is optional but will help the soup remain smooth when the cheese is melted into it.
3. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot.
4. Add the diced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Toss the chicken with the taco seasoning to coat it. Add it to the pot along with the diced bell pepper and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Add the chicken broth, undrained diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, cayenne, and cumin.
7. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, partially covered.
8. Decrease heat to low.
9. Add the sour cream. Stir until it’s almost fully combined, this may take a few minutes, but it will get there.
10. Sprinkle in the cheese gradually, stirring as you do so.
11. Once the cheese is melted, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve!
