Notes

  • Go for rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled or roast chicken for this. It saves time.
  • You can't stir this soup too much! When in doubt, stir, especially when you are adding in the creamy base.
  • Store any toppings like tortilla strips separately.
  • Worried about sodium? Use low sodium broth or stock.
  • Feel free to add a little more stock to thin the soup out if it gets too thick.
