Best Light Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipes
CREAMY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
A restaurant in my town had the best creamy chicken tortilla soup, but they closed up and I have not been able to find a great tortilla soup since. I decided to create my own based on recipes that I had tried in the past. My husband couldn't get enough of it, so I knew it was a hit. Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded Cheddar, and avocado.

- Lightly sprinkle the tortilla strips with salt if desired.
- Layer the tortilla strips in bowls.
- Sprinkle with chopped avocado if desired.
