This creamy chicken tortilla soup is full of your favorite Mexican flavors! It’s so easy to throw together and a perfect way to make use of leftover chicken!


Ingredients



  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded

  • 1 Tablespoon flour optional

  • 2 Tablespoons butter

  • 1 small yellow onion diced

  • ½ bell pepper diced

  • 3 cloves garlic diced

  • 2 cups cooked chicken rotisserie works well

  • 2 Tablespoons Taco Seasoning 1 oz. packet

  • 5 cups chicken broth

  • 1 can diced tomatoes NOT drained

  • 3/4 cup corn

  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed

  • 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper

  • 1 teaspoon cumin optional

  • ¾ cup sour cream at room temperature

  • Fresh Cilantro roughly chopped, to garnish


Instructions



  1. Shred the cheddar cheese and set it aside to allow it to get to room temperature.

  2. Toss the cheese with 1 Tablespoon of flour. This is optional but will help the soup remain smooth when the cheese is melted into it.

  3. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot.

  4. Add the diced onions and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  5. Toss the chicken with the taco seasoning to coat it. Add it to the pot along with the diced bell pepper and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  6. Add the chicken broth, undrained diced tomatoes, corn, black beans, cayenne, and cumin.

  7. Let the soup simmer for 15 minutes, partially covered.

  8. Decrease heat to low.

  9. Add the sour cream. Stir until it’s almost fully combined, this may take a few minutes, but it will get there.

  10. Sprinkle in the cheese gradually, stirring as you do so.

  11. Once the cheese is melted, garnish with fresh cilantro and serve!


Recipe Notes


Cabot’s hot habanero cheese is super hot and spicy. I love to use 1/4 cup of that and 3/4 cup cheddar in this soup. It adds a kick to this soup without making it too spicy.
