Dear Creatives, I wanted to update you on one of the recipes from Meal Plan Monday. I made Chicken Tortilla Soup, which was Rachel Ray’s recipe she calls her version Mexican Chicken Lime Soup. It is an easy 1 pot meal & then just add the fixings. Don’t you love 1 pot meals? I do! The changes I made for the Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe were simple. While your soup is cooking I have a few special discounts to share with you from CRICUT®who is one of my sponsors at the end of the post! I hope this recipe & discount makes your day a little nicer!
I followed Rachel Ray’s recipe only made a few changes: I didn’t add the 2 chiles in adobo sauce,( she uses canned chiles) finely chopped, plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce. We always have the freshest chilies of many kinds here in Central, CA. I used a big, fresh Pobalno Chili in place ( since my daughter prefers a green or clear broth vs red ) . I also reduced the garlic to 4 cloves instead of six. I only had 1 package of vegetable stock & 1 can of chicken stock so I mixed them both in & the results were great. Her recipe calls for just chicken stock. If I had it I would of used it.
This is a super easy recipe to put together & very filling all by itself. Sammie loves soup & we all loved this recipe. I think you will too. Just add as many of the fixings that you like to top your Chicken Tortilla Soup
