We like to pile tortilla chips, cheese, and sometimes sliced avocadoes into our bowls most of the time, but I’m happy to say that this soup is always a hit both with or without all of the toppings. This time of year, we can’t get enough of our favorite soup recipes. With spicy sausage, tender noodles, and a melty cheese topping, Lasagna Soup has all your favorite Italian ingredients simmered together in one pot.
Hearty Italian Vegetable Beef Soup is filled with chunks of ground beef, plenty of vegetables, and generous Italian spices. It’s been a family favorite for over 20 years. This creamy, rich Slow Cooker Potato Soup with a sprinkling of rosemary and thyme simmers in the crock-pot through the day, until you are ready to eat. I’ve been calling this my “Busy Day Potato Soup” for years. The Easiest (and tastiest!) Chili is filled with beans, tomatoes, corn, and plenty of Mexican spices. I’ve made this with meat and without and it’s delicious both ways. For a few more soup options to thrill anyone who loves Mexican food, check out White Chicken Chili, Green Chile Chicken Chowder, Carne en su Jugo, Chorizo Corn Chowder, and the Best Ever Green Chile Stew.’

Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
Canned or frozen green chile can be swapped for the fresh poblano pepper if poblanos are unavailable. Also, fresh lime juice makes an enormous difference in this recipe. If you are unsure of the lime, feel free to serve the soup with lime wedges on the side, so that the amount can be adjusted for individual tastes. Personally, we like to add a very generous amount of lime to our soup. For a shortcut recipe, cooked and chopped chicken can be swapped into the recipe. Just add it at the end of the cooking process to warm it for a few minutes. {originally published 2/6/14 – recipe notes and photos updated 2/8/22}
