Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter OR margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
8 oz. Velveeta process cheese food - cubed OR 8 oz. Mexican shredded cheese blend
10 oz. can Ro*Tel® tomatoes and chilies (I used the store brand and it was great)
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. ancho chili powder
1/2 tsp. chili powder
salt and pepper - to taste
flour tortillas - as needed, about 4 - 6
shredded Colby Jack cheese OR Mexican blend cheese - as needed

Steps:

  • In a pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes. -Slowly whisk in small amounts of chicken broth at a time, then whisk in milk. -Reduce heat to low and stir in cheese; stir until melted. -Stir in Ro*Tel, chicken, and spices. -Once soup is heated through, it is ready to serve at this point. However, if you wish to make tortilla strips, it can sit over low heat while they are made. Stir the soup occasionally. -For tortilla strips, cut tortillas into strips and deep-fry in 350 degree vegetable or peanut oil until golden, then drain on cooling racks. -Spoon a ladleful of soup into a bowl, add a handful of shredded cheese, then spoon another ladleful of soup over cheese. Sprinkle tortilla strips over top. Repeat for remaining servings.

Overall, I thought this soup was pretty good. It was easy to make and it tasted pretty good. I'll definitely make it again.

This soup is a little spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less chili powder.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but I loved them in this soup. They added a nice texture and flavor.

This soup is the perfect comfort food. It's warm, hearty, and flavorful. I love that I can make it in my slow cooker.

I used rotel instead of diced tomatoes and green chilies. It gave the soup a nice smoky flavor.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious!

This soup is so easy to make and it's always a hit with my friends and family. I love that I can use leftover chicken or turkey to make it.

This recipe was a disaster! The soup was watery and tasteless. I don't know what I did wrong.

Not a fan. The soup was too bland for me. I had to add a lot of salt and pepper to make it palatable.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a huge fan of tortilla soup, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so flavorful and comforting. I loved the addition of the corn and black beans. My family loved it too! Definitely a keeper.

This soup was a delight! The flavors were rich and complex, with just the right amount of heat. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be making this again.
