The flavors in this chicken tortilla soup are simply smashing! A delicious and basic tortilla soup recipe that leaves the seasoning to your taste buds. The ranch havestyle beans and their sauce add a nice flavor. Corn gives the soup a pop of sweetness and a nice contrast in flavor. When all simmered, the final product was a soup better than we have had at any Mexican restaurant. Muy Bueno! This is one of my favorite comfort foods on those cold days outside. It is so colorful and full of flavor. You can spice it up or down and make it thick or soupier. I never measure so don't have exact amounts to provide have just improvise until it suits your taste buds!

Recipe Cuisine: Mexican Recipe Category: Chicken Soups Yield: 6 Servings
Ingredients :
- 4 - boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 box(es) chicken stock or broth (32 oz each)
- 1 can(s) ranch style beans (15 oz)
- 1 can(s) black beans, rinsed (15.25 oz)
- 1 can(s) corn, drained, or I use a small package of frozen )15.25 oz)
- 1 can(s) green chiles, mild (7 oz)
- 1 cup(s) roasted red peppers, diced (i just use the store bought jar)
- - cayenne pepper
- - cumin
- - salt and pepper, to taste
- - pepper jack cheese
- - tortilla chips
- - sliced avocado (optional)
- - green onions, chopped for garnish (optional)
Intructions :
- Season chicken with cumin, salt, and pepper. Put in 350 degree oven to roast until fork tender (about 45 minutes). I put some of the broth in the pan, but you can also use water
- Let cool enough to shred or cut into cubes. Then put the shredded (or cubed) chicken in a soup pot on the stove
- Add the broth, beans, corn, green chilies, and diced red peppers
- Season the soup with more cumin, cayenne, and salt, and pepper to taste
- Simmer over medium-high heat for about 30 minutes until flavors meld together. NOTE: This should be a very thick soup, so if it's too watery you can add some crumbled tortilla chips and pepper jack cheese to thicken
- Ladle into a soup bowl and garnish with cheese, sliced avocado, and green onion. Serve with tortilla chips and enjoy!
