Chicken Tortilla Soup
A healthy and delicious soup with lots of spices on a base of shredded chicken, onions, and rice. I love making myself a single serving during lunch breaks for a super satisfying and filling meal.
Equipment
- 1 Medium saucepan
Ingredients
- 1/2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/4 cup Diced Onion
- 6 oz Chicken Breast
- 1 clove Minced Garlic
- 1 1/2 cup Chicken Broth
- 1/4 cup Instant Rice
- 3/4 cup Diced Tomatoes
- 1 tsp Lime Juice
- 1 tsp Chili Powder
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 tsp Paprika
- 1 dash Cayenne Pepper Optional
Instructions
- Saute onion and chicken in hot olive oil
- Add garlic
- Remove chicken, shred it, and return it to the pot
- Add all the rest of the ingredients in order
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes
Notes
- You can use regular rice instead of instant. Start cooking the rice first in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and add to soup when it's ready.
- Add more cayenne pepper or skip it entirely depending on your heat preference.
- You can really dress this recipe up with cheese, avocado, sour cream, tortilla chips, etc. to make it exactly how you like it.
- Sometimes, I use a half cup of black beans for my protein instead of chicken.
