This vibrant Tex-Mex Tortilla Soup combines fresh vegetables and tender chicken in a flavorful tomato-based broth that's surprisingly light yet satisfying. The secret to its authentic flavor lies in the perfect balance of spices and the delightful textural contrast from crushed tortilla chips that soften slightly in the hot broth. Customizable with toppings like avocado, cheese, and fresh cilantro, this colorful soup brings restaurant-quality Mexican flavors to your home kitchen in just 30 minutes.
