Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup

This Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup will leave your eyes watering and taste buds craving more!

It’s that time of year, soup time.  We absolutely love soup during the fall and winter months, my husband prefers spicy soup, while I’m a little bit of a wimp when it comes to spice.  I decided this week to surprise him with a delicious bowl of soup that was made spicy just to his taste with La Morena peppers, use any brand you prefer.

I decided to use Chipotle Peppers and Jalapeno Peppers.  He did tell me he loved spicy foods, right?

This soup can actually be made in the slow cooker as well as on the stove.  If you make it in the slow cooker, simply add all the ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours.  If you make it on the stove, you would combine the ingredients and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

I decided to opt for the stovetop method this time.  I knew I could make it relatively fast on the stove so that worked out perfectly.  The soup simmered and the kitchen smelled amazing.

I also used rotisserie chicken to cut down on cook time as far as the meat goes.  I tossed in a bit of fresh cilantro to add a boost of flavor too.

A big ole’ pot of soup makes the perfect treat on a crisp, fall day.  It honestly takes me back to the college days for some reason and this little cafe nearby that always had delicious soup.  I loved walking there for lunch during the fall.

Do you enjoy spicy foods?  I am certain you will love this delicious soup.
