I had extra turkey leftovers from the holidays. (Who doesn't have leftovers?) After a few sandwiches, I was down to the dregs, maybe a cup of shredded turkey. So, Leftover Tortilla Soup was in order.
Quick Easy Creamy Tortilla Soup (Less than 15 minutes)
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can tomatoes and chilies (Or a substitute for tomatoes and chilies is 1 cup salsa if you do not have this on hand)
1 can refried beans
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 to 1 cup corn (frozen, fresh, canned, whatever)
1 lb cooked chicken or turkey (or whatever you got left!)
shredded cheese
tortilla chips
Stir tomatoes, salsa, beans, broth and corn in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add meat until heated through. Ladle into bowls and top with cheese and crushed tortilla chips to liking.
I ladle serving sizes into freezer bags and freeze for later since this makes too much for my family to eat in one sitting.
Pull out of the freezer, place it in a sink of hot water to soften enough to get it out of the bag and zap it in the microwave.
I love the look of the blog! Great job!
ReplyDeleteA great recipe. I'd never tried tortilla soup before, but my family loved it. I really liked the way the refried beans made the broth creamy. It took me longer than the advertised fifteen minutes to make, but that probably has more to do with my pathetic cooking abilities than the recipe. I'll definitely make it again.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this recipe this week. Sounds so easy!
