This Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup is the final recipe in the set of 3, from the preview of my new cookbook, Express Lane Cooking!
By now I hope you’ve checked out the first two (Fire-Roasted Chicken Enchiladas and Saucy Shredded Chicken Tacos), and ordered or picked up a copy of the book!
I love this soup guys!
It’s made in one pot and the flavors are outta this world. My kids gobble this up every time I make it. It’s especially perfect for when that Fall weather starts to creep in. I spent this last week up in Northern Utah and there were nights when the temperatures dropped into the 40’s! We all had a big bowl of this soup and it was just so comforting!
I hope you guys have enjoyed the preview of my book and got a better idea of how I turn 5 ingredients into 3 different meals!

This is a great way to repurpose leftover pulled chicken in a tasty and fun way. And with only a few weeks left of summer corn, we can’t wait to make this soon!
