Chicken Tortilla Soup
A hearty chicken tortilla soup made with spice rubbed roasted chicken, beans, tomatoes, and tortilla strips, finished with plenty of fresh toppings.
Tip: Roast a couple of extra chicken breasts if you want leftovers for salads or tacos later in the week.
Cleanup: Line the baking sheet with parchment to make cleaning up the roasted bits easier.
Tip: If the spices look dry on the vegetables, splash in a tablespoon of stock to help them bloom without scorching.
Cleanup: Keep a small bowl nearby for pepper cores and onion skins so they do not clutter the cutting board.
Tip: Give the pot a stir every so often to keep the beans from settling on the bottom.
Cleanup: Wipe down the stove around the pot while the soup simmers to stay ahead of splatters.
Tip: Resting the soup before serving helps the flavors settle and gives the corn flavors time to come forward.
Cleanup: Soak the slurry bowl and measuring spoons right away so the cornmeal does not harden on them.
Tip: Set up a simple topping bar so everyone can customize their own bowl at the table.
Cleanup: Transfer leftover toppings into small containers with lids so they are ready for tacos or nachos the next day.
