Easy Tortilla Soup Recipe- healthy and flavorful!
Recently I got my new Super Q blender and I’ve been blending everything! Last week I shared my delicious green smoothie and this week I want to share this chicken tortilla soup recipe!
The Super Q Blender is AMAZING! It has so many different uses and I am so excited to try them all out.
I’ve already used it for smoothies, cookie dough (yes you heard me- cookies!), salsa, and this delicious soup.
The programmed soup button makes making soups so easy to make. You pour all your ingredients in, press the button and then 6 minutes later you have smooth hot soup (yes it heats it up!).
How to make this easy tortilla soup recipe:
- Sauté onion, garlic, and jalapeno in a little olive oil.
- Add to Super Q along with all the other ingredients except for the avocado, corn, tortillas, and chicken.
- Press the soup button and let the magic happen!
- Fry up your tortilla strips and shred your chicken.
- Top soup with diced avocado, corn, tortilla strips, and chicken!
I don’t have a Super Q, can I make this tortilla soup recipe on the stove?
Of course! Even though I totally recommend getting the Super Q, I completely understand not having one. It’s a great kitchen tool but not necessary.
How to make authentic chicken tortilla soup on the stove:
If making this entire recipe on the stove top sauté the onions, garlic, and jalapenos in a large stock pot. Once done sautéing add all the ingredients (except the avocado and tortillas) to the large stock pot.
Make sure to chop up the cilantro and tomato of the stove top version.
Bring soup to a boil and remove from heat. Top with diced avocado and fried tortilla strips.
You can eat the soup as is, however it won’t be creamy like that made in the Super Q.
You can use an immersion blender in this soup until it is all combined, or puree it in a food processor. Any way you make it and blend it (or not blend it) it will taste delicious!
If you will be using a food processor or immersion blender, I wouldn’t add the corn or chicken until after you’ve blended it.
Can I freeze tortilla soup?
Yes! Place soup in a zip loc bag or another air tight container and freeze. Should last up to 3 months in the freezer.
To reheat simply run warm water over the baggie or container until the frozen soup with come away from the container. Place in a medium sauce pot and heat over medium heat until warm.
Not only is this soup super fast to make it is so flavorful. The blended onion, garlic, cilantro, along with the lime juice and jalapeno give this so much flavor!
I grew up getting tortilla soup from one of the only decent Mexican restaurants in town and this brings me back!
Feel free to add some cheese too! YUM!
I know a lot people look for Vitamix soup recipes- but now it’s time for Super Q soup recipes!
Honestly although I love my Super Q blender, it is very similar to a Vitamix or any other high-power blender. So, that being said, this recipe will work in the Vitamix!
Who would have thought a blender tortilla soup could taste so good!
