I love to make and eat soup when it is cold outside. This chicken tortilla soup recipe is easy to make and great tasting, it won’t disappoint.
I always like to double my recipes for soups and chili so I can freeze them for a quick and easy lunch. I did have to invest in more glass containers in order to have single-serving sizes.

I always like to have chicken ready to serve for recipes. I usually pre-cook the chicken and store it in the freezer for soups, salads, or when I make chicken enchiladas. I find by preparing and having the chicken ready makes cooking dinner a lot easier.
