Chick Fil A Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
Description
The soup starts by sautéing garlic and chopped onion in olive oil, followed by seasoning with cumin, oregano, and salt to build the base flavor. Two cans of great northern beans are added and partially pureed with an immersion blender, leaving some beans whole for texture. Additional canned ingredients including ROTEL tomatoes, creamed corn, corn with peppers, and black beans deepen the flavor and body of the soup. Cooked shredded chicken is mixed in, and the soup simmers for about 15 minutes to meld.
At the end, lime juice is stirred in to add brightness and a touch of acidity that balances the savory components. The soup is served with toppings to enhance flavor and texture according to personal preference.
This recipe emphasizes not draining the canned ingredients, as the liquids contribute to the soup's broth, maintaining the moisture and flavor balance without thinning it excessively. The combination of seasonings and varied beans provides a flavorful, protein-rich dish with a satisfying mix of textures.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion *chopped
- 4 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 teaspoon oregano
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 3 cans great northern beans *15 oz cans
- 20 oz ROTEL * 2 cans
- 15 oz cream style corn
- 15 oz corn with peppers *canned, if you can't find, use normal corn
- 15 oz black beans
- 1 lb chicken *cooked/shredded
- 2 tablespoon lime juice
- Toppings of choice
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Add in the garlic and onion. Sauté for a few minutes.
- Stir in the Cumin, Oregano, and salt.
- Add 2 cans of northern beans to the pot and using an immersion blender, puree the beans. *You can also use a blender, but I prefer immersion blender to keep them a bit chunky still.
- Add in the Rotel, creamed corn, whole kernel corn, and chicken.
- Mix in the remaining northern beans and black beans, stirring to fully incorporate.
- Let soup simmer about 15 minutes and add in the lime juice as well as increase any seasonings to taste.
- Serve in bowls with desired toppings!
Notes
- Do not drain canned beans or tomatoes; use their liquid to keep the soup rich and flavorful.
- The immersion blender is used to create a slightly chunky texture by pureeing part of the beans, enhancing thickness without losing bean pieces.
- Adjust the amount of seasonings and lime juice after simmering to suit personal taste.
- This soup can be garnished with desired toppings like tortilla strips, cheese, or cilantro for added texture and flavor.
