Check out this delicious and easy Chicken Tortilla Soup – most items you probably already have in your pantry. It's perfect for Fall!
I LOVED this recipe.
YUM.
I pre-cooked a ton of chicken that I got last week on sale (y'all, making it myself saved me a bundle), but you can use canned chicken or make it yourself too. Super simple, and if you want to make this Chicken Tortilla Soup a little more “man” approved, add some sour cream and tortilla chips.
One of the best parts about this recipe is that you can make it VERY quick and you have the option to do it in a stockpot on the stove or you can throw everything in the slow cooker and let it simmer. The toppings you can add are endless too, so you really can customize this to what your family likes.
Perfection!

Why is it black
Do you use the spices and garlic that are in the pic? I don’t see them in the recipe. Thank you
WHOOPS BETH – yes (good catch!) You could leave the extra spices out, but I usually add in – 1/2 tsp chili powder, 1 tbsp minced onion and 1/2 tsp minced garlic. Hope that helps!
Hi! Looks amazing, but your pic has a can of Cream of Chicken soup in it- is that a variation for non- 21 day fix?
Yes Rachel! It would not be perfect for the 21 Day fix (but if you get the Healthy Request version it wouldn’t be too terrible.) Hope that helps – I also love this one for the 21 Day Fix (I don’t have the exact container counts for it but it’s so yummy and good for you too!)
Do you drain the black beans?
Yes Susan!
Thank you! The soup looked like you don’t. I will drain mine!!
I make this but use frozen chicken as well. I place 3-4 frozen chicken breast into the crockpot, cover with a whole jar of whatever salsa I like. Add the cans of corn and black beans and broth. An hour before I want to serve, I shred the chicken. Serve with sour cream , fritos or whatever else sounds yummy!
I make Chicken Tortilla soup almost this same way, except I start with a frozen chicken breast and water and cook it ,covered for 30-45 minutes. Then I remove the chicken, add the cans of veggies, shred the now-cooked chicken, and serve it with cheese and tortilla chips. Sometimes I addd a little chili powder and/or cumin. This makes enough for the 2 of us with enough left over for one of us to have another bowl later. Cooking the chicken this way makes its own chicken broth and I know what is in it!
