Ingredients You’ll Need For Our Hearty Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe:

How To Make Our Hearty Chicken Tortilla Soup:
To start this delicious soup, begin by cooking the chicken cubes in a large pan with olive oil on medium heat until it’s browned.
Then add in the cumin, chicken broth, and white rice and bring it to a boil.
Once it’s boiling, place a lid on the pan and turn the heat down and let it simmer for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, remove the lid and pour in the green enchilada sauce, salsa, corn mix, lime juice, and cilantro and mix it all together.
Just a few minutes before you are ready to serve, add the fiesta blend cheese to let it melt and then serve it up in a bowl with your favorite toppings.
We like to serve it with extra cheese, sour cream, avocados, and tortilla strips.
To make the tortilla strips, slice them into ½ to 1 inch pieces and then coat another pan with nonstick cooking and then lay the strips on top and cook them over medium heat.
Then coat the tops of the tortillas with more on stick cooking spray. Flip the strips after 2-3 minutes or as you see them begin to brown.
When they are done, serve them fresh with the soup!

With all of the shipping delays there have been plenty of issues with things out of stock in the grocery stores, so if you are having a hard time finding the corn with peppers you might just have to make your own!
The Food Network has a great recipe for sautéed corn and green peppers that would be great in place of the can of corn for this recipe.
Try it and let us know what you think! It would also be a great side dish for any other dinner recipe.
