Chicken Tortilla Soup

This classic Mexican soup is loaded with flavor but light on calories and fat, and includes an extra dose of veggies to boost the vitamin and fiber content. Use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to cut down on prep time.

Ingredients

Chicken Tortilla Soup

Directions

  • 1Prepare tortillas

    Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Using knife or kitchen shears, cut corn tortillas into strips. Place strips on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake in oven until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.

  • 2Combine ingredients

    Meanwhile, in large, heavy pot, stir together chicken broth, water, crushed tomatoes, chile powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add potatoes, and bring mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce to medium-high and cook about 5 minutes.

  • 3Cook

    Add carrots and celery to soup, cooking another 5 minutes, or until fork tender. Stir in corn and chicken, cooking just a couple minutes until warm.

  • 4Serve

    To serve, ladle soup into bowls and garnish with cilantro, scallions, baked tortilla strips and lime wedges.
