Max & Erma's Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe - (3.8/5) image

Provided by theresaoneil

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups chicken broth
1 cup milk
8 ounces Velveeta processed cheese food, cubed
10 ounces can Rotel tomatoes and chilies
2 cups chicken, cooked and shredded
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
4 to 6 flour tortillas
Colby Jack cheese, shredded or Mexican blend cheese, shredded

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 Velveeta cubes; stir until melted. Stir in Rotel, 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. 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. If you want to save a lot of time, use crumbled tortilla chips instead of tortilla strips. As a substitute for Rotel, you can use 1 1/2 cups of salsa. Spiciness can be easily adjusted by using spicy Rotel or salsa and/or adding cayenne pepper to the soup.

This soup was a little bland for my taste. I added some extra chili powder and cumin, and that helped a lot. Overall, it was a good soup and I would make it again.
