I enjoyed a creamy chicken tortilla soup at a restaurant in my town, but they closed up and I have not been able to find a great version 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 include sour cream, shredded Cheddar, and avocado.
