Easiest Chicken Tortilla Soup

Print Pin
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 2-3 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups salsa or 1 16 oz. jar
  • 2 cups pre-cooked black beans or 1 can, rinsed and drained
  • water or chicken broth
  • optional: 1 can corn I usually don't because of GMOs.

Instructions

  • Boil chicken breasts in large stock pot. If you already have chicken pre-cooked and shredded, you’re ahead of the game!
  • Reserve boiled water, shred chicken and place back in stock pot with water.
  • Pour salsa and beans into pot. (No extra seasonings needed...the salsa provides all the flavor!)
  • Add enough water and/or chicken stock until soup reaches your desired consistency.
  • Bring to a boil then turn burner to low until you’re ready to serve.

Notes

  • Top with shredded cheese and sour cream or plain yogurt. Serve with tortilla chips.
  • You can add a lot of liquid for a true soup or just a little for a more stew-like consistency. I enjoy it both ways. Of course, the more liquid you add, the more servings this will yield! I have also tried this with garbanzo beans, and it was scrumptious!
