Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup image

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.

Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed Cheddar cheese soup
1 cup picante sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon dried cilantro
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
1 bay leaf
1 pound cooked chicken, shredded
⅔ cup drained and rinsed canned corn
½ cup half-and-half
¼ cup tortilla strips

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; stir in onion and garlic. Saute until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Add broth, condensed soup, picante sauce, chili powder, oregano, cumin, cilantro, pepper, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Add chicken, corn, and half-and-half. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Ladle into bowls and top with tortilla strips.
