Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup (Copycat Recipe)
Description
The Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup features sautéed onions and garlic combined with classic southwestern spices including cumin and oregano. A mix of pureed cannellini beans and whole canned beans creates a thick, creamy texture while canned corn and diced tomatoes add sweetness and acidity. Green chilies contribute mild heat. Shredded rotisserie chicken builds savory depth. The soup simmers covered for 30 to 45 minutes allowing flavors to develop fully.
The finished soup is served with tri-color tortilla strips adding a crisp contrast and a squeeze of lime juice that cuts through the richness with bright acidity. This combination results in a hearty, comforting soup with layered textures and balanced flavors that works well as a main meal or starter.
Using a pre-seasoned rotisserie chicken is recommended to enhance the chicken’s flavor. The soup thickens as it cools. It can also be made ahead and reheated. Pureeing the cannellini beans smooths the soup’s body. These tips help recreate the familiar Chick-fil-A taste at home.
