Tips
For tender and flavorful chicken, consider using boneless chicken breasts. You can cook them separately and shred them, or cook them directly in the soup for more flavor.
If you’re craving chicken tortilla cheese soup, consider adding two dollops of cream cheese just before serving. This way you can satisfy your craving without having to make chicken tortilla soup with cream cheese recipe.
Dice some fresh avocados and use it as a topping to enhance the creaminess and richness of the soup.
