- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- Place corn tortillas on a baking sheet and bake until crispy, about 7 minutes
- That’s it!
Chicken Or No Chicken
There are many directions you can take this recipe in regards to your protein preference. We know that chicken isn’t for everyone, here in Nashville we try our best to source our chicken from local farmers within the community that practice sustainable and completely free-range farms.
If you want to learn more about the topic, check out my Guide To Eating Animal Proteins. If you’re looking for a vegan option or one that doesn’t contain animal proteins, then try tofu or tempeh. You’re in luck because both of these options work perfectly well with this chicken tortilla soup.
Whether you’re in the mood for something new with a little kick, or you’re like us and you know that chicken tortilla soup is always a good idea, we know you are going to love this tasty soup.
