I love recipes that taste like you’ve been working at the stove all day developing flavors even though you’ve really only taken a few minutes like this Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup. The secret to this dish is the base of the soup, Imagine® Free-Range Chicken Broth. Seriously, I love this broth. The amount of flavor in this 5-ingredient recipe is amazing!
When I first used this broth to make green chili, I loved how thick it was. It didn’t look like your typical watered down broth; it was rich and beautiful in color. This stems from Imagine using farm-grown vegetables and organic free-range chicken and no artificial ingredients or preservatives.
The broth alone would make a simple and fantastic side dish to a sandwich on a cold winter day. The organic free-range chicken and freshest vegetables are simmered with savory herbs and seasonings. It makes the body of this soup full and complete with layers of flavor.
What’s great about Imagine® Products is that I can find them at Walmart. So when I’m there for my weekly grocery shopping, it makes for an easy pickup. It’s also one of the reasons I love making this soup for friends as well as my family during the fall and insanely busy holiday months. Walmart literally can be my one stop shop.
From picking up the broth and all of the other Great Value products that make up this recipe like diced tomatoes and ranch dressing, you can get everything for this mouthwatering Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup in a matter of minutes. And while I would like to say that I only visit Walmart only weekly for my grocery shopping, during the holiday season, I can tell you that is not the case – although each year I try to improve upon this.
Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is so vibrant; it makes a stunning meal in under 30 minutes! It all starts with the deep tone of the broth, and by adding in some vegetables and chicken, you have a great foundation to build on.

As a mom to five kids, their message resonates with me. I love creating recipes that are wholesome, delicious and full of ingredients that will nourish their bodies. Now that isn’t to say I’m not in for dessert as this is always a must. But I do love feeding my family meals that will “feed” them all day long.
I love making simple soups. Not only because it takes such a small amount of time, which I appreciate and needs during crazy busy months, but also because my kids love them. Soup is something easy to serve during the fall and winter with sports going on for all five of our kids, including wrestling, dance, basketball, volleyball and cross country.
My afternoons consist of me doing kid carpool duty to all their destinations. Throw in the occasional haircut and dental appointments, and I find I can be in the car more than I’m at home. So having something comforting, homemade and delicious when we get back from all of their events without taking up more precious time is pure joy.
And over the holidays, I just double this recipe for Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup because it is fantastic to serve to large groups. It’s filling, appealing to the eye and everyone will rave how delicious it is – of course asking for the recipe, which you’re sure to kindly share.

The perfect comfort weeknight dinner! Looks so tasty!
Thank you!
I have turkey …is it ok to use turkey ..
This was so good! I was skeptical since it was just a few ingredients, but it was awesome and almost as fast as opening a can of soup!
I’ve made it on the stove top and it was awesome. Do you have suggestions for a way to do it in the crockpot with raw chicken?
Hi Jess! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! We have a different Crockpot Tortilla Soup recipe you could use! If you’re looking for the same flavor, you could try replacing the base ingredients (sauces and seasonings) in that recipe with the ones from this one, while following the instructions from the crockpot recipe, but I can’t guarantee it would work perfectly as it hasn’t been tested.
My ranch dressing has kinda coagulated in little white specks on top of the soup. Did I doo something wrong ?
Hmmm, that’s interesting. Sorry, that happened. Did you put it in when the other ingredients were hot?
Or the temperature of your pot was too hot, try reducing the heat that shouldn’t happen. Try over medium-high heat to bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low or even simmer. You should be set with that.
Such a gorgeous soup!! I bet it tastes amaaazing!!
Definitely! Thanks, enjoy!!!
5 ingredients = amazing!!!
I agree! Hope you enjoy!
this is a great soup!
Thanks!
That’s the broth I use too! Their vegetable one is great too. Love this tortilla soup!
It’s a great broth for sure, enjoy!
This is such a wonderful soup! Always a go to when we are craving comfort food!
While this sounds like a great soup the ingredients doesn’t match the picture. I see black beans and colorful red and green, perhaps bell peppers? But there isn’t anything like that in the recipe.
The frozen corn mix that is used is a Southwestern style blend as stated on the recipe card. It usually contain beans, peppers, and onions and can be found at any grocery store in the frozen veggie section. There is also some red and green from the can of diced tomatoes with green chiles. Hope you enjoy!
The frozen southwest corn blend I’ve seen is seasoned?? Should that be used or is there an unseasoned southwest corn blend??
For the recipe we used “Bird’s Eye recipe ready southwest blend”. As far as I know, it is not seasoned. Their other blends that aren’t “recipe ready” may have seasoning. If that’s the case you may want to leave out just a bit of the taco seasoning. When it’s ready give it a taste and add more if you think it needs it!
What a savory soup! Looking forward to enjoying this easy recipe this evening!
Thanks! Let us know how it turns out!
Loving all the delicious flavors in this soup! Will definitely be adding this to my dinner line up for the week! Yum!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy!
This sounds so simple and bursting with flavor! I’ve gotta try this soon
Thank you, enjoy!
This makes me so excited for soup season! Can’t beat only 5 ingredients!
Sounds incredibly delicious! Everyone will go crazy for this, just perfect for those busy nights!
Thank you!
Perfect bowl of comfort food right there!
Do I add plain tortillas before serving?
You can top with tortilla chips/strips like pictured or can serve with tortillas if you’d prefer!
Is the ranch dressing used here, the dry mix and if so, seems like a lot.
No, we use the bottles of ranch dressing like you would use on salads in this recipe. Hope this helps!
What is the serving size? A cup or half a cup?
Serving size is just about 1 cup. Enjoy!
I have turkey …is it ok to use turkey ..
Turkey would be really good! Let us know how it turns out!
Is there black beans in this recipe? It looks like there is in the pic of the soup
Hi Darlene, The frozen corn blend used in the recipe does have black beans in it! It also has red bell peppers and onions. If you’d like to add them separately you definitely can.
Am I missing something? Is it a tortilla soup without tortillas?
Sorry about that! We usually top the soup with crunchy tortilla strips. I edited the recipe to include them! Thanks for pointing that out.
The picture of this soup looks awesome on Pinterest, but I notice there seems to be black beans in the soup. However, I haven’t been able to locate a frozen southwestern corn blend including red and green peppers with black beans too. And I don’t see black beans listed as an ingredient.
Hi! We usually use Birds Eye Southwestern blend, which does have black beans. You can definitely sub with canned black beans, but be sure to drain it well before adding as many as you’d like.
Since I do not eat beans I used can corn. Next time I will need to add bell pepper and onions. It was still tasty.
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
We have absolutely loved this recipe! We have made it twice, but both times it has been almost unbearably spicy. We can’t seem to figure out why so we can minimize it. Do you know what this would be from? Different taco seasoning? The green chiles? I am just curious!
Also, recommend topping with cheese!
Hi Katie! Are you using mild taco seasoning? You could try using separate cans of mild green chiles (4 oz) and diced tomatoes as listed, as the chiles could be the problem! Let us know if you get this figured out!
I have an allergy to Ranch dressing. What could I use instead?
What is your allergy? That will help me send some suggestions 🙂
Great soup! I find I like the chicken cubed instead of shredded.
That definitely works too! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This was such a comforting meal!!! Thank you for the easy recipe
Totally love how easy this is. Perfect dinner idea!
This Chicken Tortilla Soup needs to be added to our weeknight dinner rotation!
Such a rich and flavorful soup. It will be my new favorite winter recipe.
