Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe
Healthy Chicken Tortilla Soup is a slow-cooked blend of shredded chicken, enchilada sauce, black beans, diced tomatoes, green chilis, and spices creating a hearty, flavorful broth. Corn tortilla strips add a satisfying crunch topping, while melted cheese and optional avocado introduce creaminess. The soup offers a comforting, layered taste typical of a southwestern-style tortilla soup.
