Chicken Tortilla Chowder
Jump to RecipeThis recipe has a fun little nostalgic back story, so I’m going to share it with you. Seven years ago (this week, actually!) my first little bundle of mischievous joy was born. My aunt came by to meet him and brought food as people often do when babies are born. It’s probably one of the most useful things you can do for new parents, in fact. Unless you can somehow make babies nap longer or sleep through the night from day one. Then please bring that magic instead.
Anyway, my aunt brought a soup, and since it was chilly and Fall and I didn’t it was much appreciated before I ever even tasted it. But after I did taste it, I HAD to have the recipe. Because it’s amazing. Like really really good. It’s like a creamy cheesy chicken tortilla soup. And, it’s just a fact, that everything is better if it’s creamy and cheesy.
So my aunt emailed me the recipe. I was expecting it to be pretty elaborate because most of the time YUM + Lots of flavor = LOTS OF WORK. But it wasn’t! This Chicken Tortilla Chowder is SO EASY! I couldn’t believe it when I read it!!
You can literally make this Chicken Tortilla Chowder in 30 minutes, for a warm, toasty amazing dinner! Top it with some crushed tortilla chips, sour cream, and fresh cilantro or pico de gallo and serve with a warm, buttery, crusty bread. And now I have to go. As I was sitting here typing with cold finger tips, I suddenly realized what I wanted for dinner! Yummmm…..
