How to Make Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup

  1. In a large stock pot, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cheese soup and 4 cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegan version).
  2. Gently stir in 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (or 2 cups of your favorite cooked vegetables, such as black beans, corn, or zucchini).
  3. Add 1 (15 ounce) can of your favorite salsa, 1 (15 ounce) can of corn, drained, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Serve hot in bowls. Top each serving with extra shredded cheddar cheese, a handful of tortilla strips, and a dollop of sour cream (or vegan alternative).
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions for an extra pop of freshness and flavor.
