A restaurant in my town had the best creamy chicken tortilla soup, but they closed up and I have not been able to find a great tortilla soup since. I decided to create my own based on recipes that I had tried in the past. My husband couldn't get enough of it, so I knew it was a hit. Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded Cheddar, and avocado.

Time 55m

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1 cup picante sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 bay leaf
1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
⅔ cup drained and rinsed canned corn
½ cup half-and-half

I came up with this after reading a tip from a can of refried beans. I first made my chicken version and then thought it would be great with black beans instead of the meat. So easy to put together and a delicious soup.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your soup the best flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the soup: This will caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and give the soup a deeper flavor.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth: This will make a big difference in the flavor of the soup.
  • Don't be afraid to add spices: A little bit of chili powder, cumin, and oregano can really add some depth of flavor to the soup.
  • Top the soup with your favorite toppings: Shredded cheese, sour cream, and cilantro are all great options.

Conclusion:

This creamy tortilla soup is a delicious, hearty, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover tortillas. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this creamy tortilla soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
