Tips:
- Use a variety of chicken pieces: For a more flavorful soup, use a combination of dark and light meat chicken pieces. This will give the soup a richer flavor and texture.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooking the chicken will make it tough and dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you add to the soup, the more nutritious and flavorful it will be. Some good vegetables to add to chicken tortilla soup include onions, celery, carrots, bell peppers, and corn.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful one. A good option is to use a combination of chicken broth and vegetable broth.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
