Fall weather has definitely hit here in Utah. Sunday was cold and rainy, the perfect kind of weather for soup. I found a recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup, but it was really complicated. So I simplified it and made a few other changes. It turned out delicious! All my boys requested that I it on our regular rotation. It is a perfect meal for all those upcoming chilly evenings!
Hearty and delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup

This soup is served with grated cheese, chips, and avocados. I loved the avocado with it. Seriously so yummy! Sour cream would probably be good too, but we didn’t try that.

In all honesty, I was the only one who added the garnishes. The rest of my family had their bowls almost empty before they even noticed there were garnishes on the table. They liked it that much!!
Save money and make your own Chicken Tortilla Soup from scratch. Just as good as a bowl of soup from a fancy restaurant!
I have tried chicken tortilla soup at several restaurants, and this one is just as good as all of them. And you can feed your whole family for about the price of one bowl at a restaurant. Gotta love that!
