The Best Chicken Tortilla Soup

I'm in love with this soup!! A very good friend of mine made this for me recently and I fell in love. I'm very picky about my Tortilla Soup and this by far the best ever. She makes hers in the crock pot and I have to agree, that it's easy and tastes just wonderful!! Whatever you do, DO NOT skip the garnishes! They are the icing on the cake!

  3. 3
    Enjoy!

Great soup and really easy to make. I have made other tortilla soup recipes from this site that were much more time consuming but not as good! I would definitely recommend using a rotisserie chicken as mentioned in the recipe. It's so convenient and has great flavor!

    I have tried many soup recipe’s and they are almost always too bland. I’m sure my hubby was thinking he was going to have to suffer through another soup trial. Amazingly the first thing out of his mouth was MMMMMMM!! I agree this is YUMMY- thanks!
