Chicken Tortilla Soup - the secret ingredient makes all the difference!! Ready in about 15 minutes. Can also make this in the slow cooker. Freeze leftovers for a quick lunch or dinner later!!

Serve with some cornbread for an easy weeknight meal that the whole family will enjoy! Everyone loved this easy Mexican recipe!!
Fall will be here next week, and I am ready for soup season! It is still blazing hot where I live, but we still enjoy a good bowl of soup this time of year. I actually made a batch of this Chicken Tortilla Soup last weekend to watch football. It was SOOOO good!! The secret ingredient in this Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe is a can of refried beans. It makes the soup creamy and yummy! Chicken Legs hates refried beans, but didn't even realize that they were in the soup. He ate two bowls! What he doesn't know won't hurt him. LOL!
This soup only takes a few minutes to make. You basically just dump everything in a large pot on the stove, bring it to a boil and simmer for a few minutes. Alternately, you can throw everything in the slow cooker too. The leftovers can be frozen for a quick meal later. I have a couple of servings in the freezer right now! They are great for a quick lunch or dinner.
We topped our Chicken Tortilla Soup with some sour cream, crushed tortilla chips and cheese. I also like to use Fritos. Use your favorite taco toppings! I made some cornbread sticks to go with the soup. We both really loved this easy soup recipe! SO delicious and filling!!
