The Only Tortilla Soup Recipe You Need This Fall
Fall has officially entered the atmosphere, and we can’t help but embrace it. The leaves are changing, there’s a chill in the air, and our favorite cool weather accessory, soup, is making a massive comeback. Is there anything better than curling up on the couch with a hearty cup of soup? My favorite, you ask? Tortilla--all day.
Recently I have been graced with more free time than I know what to do with, so I jumped on the cooking train. I’ve started experimenting with old family recipes, and I must say, my Great Aunt’s Tortilla Soup is killer. I’ve been eating this soup ever since I was a child, and I may be biased, but it’s better than any other recipe I’ve tried at home or out at restaurants. This recipe will bring you warmth, and a ton of flavor, on the coldest of days.
Pro Tip: If you live alone, or it’s just you and your S/O, cut the recipe in half.
Get on your aprons, ladies and gents, because this no-fuss Tortilla Soup recipe is calling your name.
Ingredients:
1 small can of green chilis
1 small onion chopped
1 large tomato chopped
1 can beef broth
1 can chicken broth
1 ½ cup of water
2 ½ cup V8
2 garlic cloves crushed
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 skinless chicken breasts
16 oz of frozen corn
2 bunches of green onion
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
2 cups sour cream
Tortilla chips as needed
Preparation:
On the stovetop, lightly drizzle a medium-sized pan with olive oil. Once warm, place chicken breasts in the pan and cover with a lid. Flip chicken after 5 minutes. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove chicken from the pan once there is no pink in the middle, transfer to a cutting board, and shred with a kitchen knife.
In a large pot, combine green chilis, onion, tomato, beef broth, chicken broth, water, V8, garlic, cumin, chili powder, salt, Worcestershire sauce, cooked chicken, and corn.
Bring to a boil.
Once ingredients come to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or more.
To serve, break down tortilla chips at the bottom of a bowl, add soup, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of green onion and cheese.
ENJOY IT :)
