Making a Quick and Easy Tortilla Soup

Sharing is caring!

Do you like Taco or Tortilla Soup?  Do you like to make it easy?  Yes, to both for me.  Making a Quick and Easy Tortilla Soup With Mad Dash Mixes, I had dinner ready in under an hour.  One thing great about using a mix, I think of it as a starter.  You can make it as their recipe calls for, but I usually like to change it up a bit and add more to make the prepared soup go a bit farther and be a little heartier.  Do you call it Taco or Tortilla Soup?  I’m not sure the difference.

I don’t use a lot of mixes in cooking but there’s a few I love to keep on hand for a quick dinner.  I have found certain brands we all love which carry a variety of flavors in not only soups, but desserts, dips, and salad seasonings.  Mad Dash Mixes is one we love.

The packages will give you a recipe along with a few options.  These are great to make it your own.  Add a few things, or leave it out, and you have the perfect soup. 

Making a Quick and Easy Tortilla Soup

Here’s how I like to make it:  Find the full recipe below

Instead of water – use chicken broth.  It will add a richer flavor

Add a whole can of corn – drained

Add a can of red kidney or black beans – rinsed and drained

Add chicken – usually about a cup or what you might have left over

With adding these extra ingredients, increase your liquid by ½ to 1 cup

This can be to your liking on how thick or how soupy you like it

If you like it spicier, use tomatoes with chili peppers

Don’t Forget The Toppings

And don’t forget the toppings – I would suggest some or all of these.  Seriously, don’t skip the toppings.

Cheddar Cheese

Mexican Blend Cheese

Lime – a squeeze gives you a fresh flavor

Avocado slices

Cilantro

Sour Cream

Crushed Tortilla Chips

My Recipe

1 – 15 oz can diced tomatoes

6 cups chicken broth (mixture of water and broth is fine)

1 – 15 oz can whole kernel corn, drained

1 cup diced or shredded chicken (leftover rotisserie works great)

1 – 15 oz black or kidney beans, rinsed and drained

Place all items in a large soup pot or Dutch Oven

Bring to a boil

Lower the heat and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes.

Can you see how easy using a mix helps?  I have a good supply of spices on hand, but if you don’t, a mix is the way to go.
