Chicken Tortilla Soup

How to make Chicken Tortilla Soup in 30 minutes!

Start off with two packages of boneless skinless tenderloins. In a Dutch oven on medium heat, add three tablespoons of olive oil. Then one diced medium sweet onion sauté those up until they become translucent.

 

Then add the chicken tenderloins (cubed). You can use shredded chicken also. Cook these until all the pink is gone. Season the meat with one packet of taco seasoning.CC0B6F17 0A6E 4BF9 B2DF 009E0F4A79B8 

Then slice and add two fresh zucchinis. We really like to use zucchini because it’s a healthy option, it doesn’t change the flavor of whatever you’re putting it, and it bulks up the soup.

Finally add two boxes of chicken broth and these are about four cups in each, so eight cups in total.

Season with just a little bit of red pepper flakes, it’s great any soup or stew.
