Spicy Tex-Mex Chicken Soup
with Crushed Tortilla Chips & Sour Cream
- Milk
- Sesame
Name ONE thing more soul-warming than a steamy bowl of chicken soup... (We’ll wait.) In the meantime, let us introduce you to this version, which is ready in just 15 minutes. We warm fully cooked chicken breast in a pot with scallions, tomato, chicken stock, and our flavor-packed Tex-Mex paste to create a hearty broth, then simmer until the flavors meld and the soup emerges victorious. When it comes to toppings, we didn’t slouch: sprinkle on zingy scallion greens, crushed blue corn tortilla chips, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice, then dollop with tangy sour cream, grab a big spoon and dig right in.

Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce.
• Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Quarter lime.
• Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Cut into 1-inch cubes.
• Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add scallion whites, chicken, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until scallion whites are tender and chicken is warmed through, 2-4 minutes.
• Add tomato, Tex-Mex paste, and stock concentrates; stir to combine. Stir in 2½ cups water (4 cups for 4 servings); bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring often, until flavors meld and soup has thickened slightly, 4-6 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and stir in half the sour cream.
• Divide soup between bowls. Dollop with remaining sour cream and sprinkle with scallion greens. Crush tortilla chips over top and serve with a squeeze of lime juice.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very easy to put together and very tasty! Loved the spice and lime flavors; but would have been happier cooking my own chicken. Yours was a bit dry and tough.
Easy and delicious! It was nice that the chicken was pre cooked and so yummy!, and I like being able to adjust the spiciness with the packets of spices!
The best soup ever. I added some extra veggies and quinoa to give some extra texture. 10/10 definitely getting again
Beautiful blend of spicy flavors and hotness, with the wonderful crunchiness from blue chips
Good flavors. Definitely would have this again. I added a can of black beans to make it more filling.
For the minimal effort that went into preparing this dish, it was surprisingly delicious!
This was delicious, but it took wayyyy longer than 15 minutes. So tasty, though!
Great flavor, easy to pull together. Perfect for chilly nights.
Broth was absolutely delicious. I kinda wish there was another vegetable. Without adding the sour cream, broth was nice and spicy. I wish I only added 1/4 of it to the soup. Soup became very mild with added dollops.
Fine for soup but I like my soup more chowder-y. This was thin and could have benefited from additional veggies- maybe corn and black beans.
