Creamy Chicken Tortilla Soup

This creamy chicken tortilla soup has all the bold Southwestern flavor of the classic, but with a smooth, velvety texture that makes it extra special.

Made with puréed vegetables, broth, and corn tortillas, this chicken tortilla soup is silky, hearty, and bursting with flavor—a delicious upgrade to the classic. Jennifer Segal

This creamy chicken tortilla soup was inspired by a version served at Tommy Bahama Restaurant, a breezy, island-inspired chain with a laid-back vibe. Unlike typical tomato- and broth-based tortilla soups, this one starts with a purée of vegetables, broth, and corn tortillas, giving it a hearty texture and deep, satisfying flavor. In my opinion, it beats the standard version by a mile.
