Leftover Chicken Tortilla Soup Casserole image

Time 40m

Yield 1 pan, 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 -5 cups leftover tortilla soup
2 -3 cups coarsely crushed tortilla chips
1/2 cup salsa (optional)
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Pour leftover soup into a large casserole pan.
  • Dump tortilla chips into the soup, mix well.
  • Add salsa to soup & chips if the soup isn't very soupy; mix well.
  • Slather sour cream over the top.
  • Sprinkle on the olives.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the olives.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and casserole is heated through.
  • OTHER OPTIONS: add some chopped green chilis, cumin, red peppers.
  • NOTE: My chicken tortilla soup has corn kernels in it -- if your recipe doesn't, try adding some; it really makes a difference.
