This soup was NOT easy to make, but I finally got my chicken tortilla soup to look and taste like theirs. So proud of myself.
Edit- here’s the recipe jeez.
-Two chicken breast (boiled and hand shredded)
-One can of Cannellini beans and one can of Great Northern beans (blended and seasoned well)
– two cans of rotel ( spice level of your choice)
-one can of creamed corn
– one can of Mexican style corn
-cumin, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder, black pepper.
– one white onion and 3 cloves of garlic, sautéed in canola oil
-juice of one lime
Add your canned ingredients into your Dutch oven, DO NOT STRAIN THEM. Add your blended beans, chicken, and lime juice. Season to taste and let it simmer for about an hour.
To avoid being gassy, add about 0.5 tsp of baking soda.
To everyone who was mean, I hope a crack appears in your favorite cast iron
