Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup
Ingredients
- 32 ounces Imagine® Organic Chicken Broth
- 2/3 cup Ranch Dressing
- 2 cup shredded Rotisserie Chicken
- 2 14.5 ounce cans Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles
- 1 package Mild Taco Seasoning
- 1 14 ounce package frozen corn – preferably Southwest Blend with peppers and onions
- Optional topping: crunchy tortilla strips
- 14.5 ounces canned black beans drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients into a pot and place over medium-high heat and allow to come to a slow boil.
- Reduce heat to low. Cover partially with a lid and cook for 20 minutes.
- For the last 5 minutes of cooking time remove the lid and allow it to continue to simmer. Remove from heat and let it sit off the heat for 5 minutes before serving. This will allow it to thicken up and cool off a bit.
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.
I add a can of drained black beans.
