Recipes FAQ

Can I use a different type of meat?

Yes, you can use shredded beef or pork instead of chicken if you prefer.

Can I make this soup vegetarian?

Yes, you can omit the chicken and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. You can also add extra veggies like zucchini or bell peppers.

Recipe Tips

To save time, you can use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken from scratch. You can also use store-bought tortilla chips or make your own by frying corn tortillas in oil until crispy. If you like your soup extra spicy, you can add a chopped jalapeño pepper or a dash of hot sauce. Finally, make sure to crush the tortilla chips just before serving so they stay crispy.
