Perfectly seasoned tortilla soup in under 1 hour. Delicious! Top soup with a dollop of sour cream, non-fat Greek yogurt or non-fat cottage cheese, grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips or tostadas, and avocado.

Very few soups are both this easy and this delicious! I cheated a bit by using store-bought tortilla strips and saved some additional time by using a hand mixer set on low speed to shred the chicken. This dish is likely to become a monthly regular offering in our house. Read More
