Discover how to whip up a warm, comforting bowl of Chicken Tortilla Soup in just 35 minutes! This easy recipe packs a flavorful punch with rich bone broth, tender chicken, and a blend of spices, topped with crispy tortilla strips, creamy avocado, and fresh cilantro.
Ingredients:
Step 1: Sauté Aromatics
Start this cozy journey by warming a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large stockpot. The goal here is to gently cook the chopped onion, minced garlic, and seeded, chopped jalapeno until the onion turns wonderfully translucent. This takes about 5 minutes and sets a flavorful foundation for the soup. Savory smells filling the kitchen are just the beginning of this comforting meal.
Pro Tip: Cut the vegetables uniformly for even cooking.
Step 2: Combine & Simmer
To the pot, add the shredded chicken, rich tomato sauce, and bone broth, stirring to combine. Lower the heat to let the soup simmer gently for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Meanwhile, crisp up the tortilla strips in a medium non-stick pan over high heat until golden brown, adding a delightful crunch to the final dish. This simmering stage is crucial for developing the soup’s depth of flavor.
Pro Tip: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even flavor.
Step 3: Garnish & Serve
Ladle the hot, aromatic soup into large bowls, embracing the essence of warmth and comfort. The time has come to add the finishing touches: garnish each bowl with creamy avocado slices, crispy tortilla strips, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. This final step not only introduces a variety of textures but also elevates the flavors, making each bite a delightful experience. Now, gather around the table and enjoy this comforting bowl of goodness with loved ones.
Pro Tip: Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and warmth.
