Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup
💡 Chef’s Secret Tips for Tortilla Soup Perfection:
- The Starch Thickening Trick 🌽🥣
- If you prefer a slightly thicker, heartier soup base rather than a thin clear broth, crush a handful of corn tortilla chips completely into a fine powder using your hands and stir them directly into the hot liquid during the last 5 minutes of cooking. The corn starch dissolves smoothly, lending a rich texture and an extra hit of authentic corn flavor to every spoonful!
- Go Heavy on the Fresh Citric Finish! 🍋🌿
- Never skip the fresh toppings! The heat of the soup base beautifully melts the shredded cheese and softens the avocado, but a vigorous squeeze of a fresh lime wedge right before your first bite is what truly cuts the richness of the broth and makes all the smoky spices pop on your tongue.
