Southwestern Chicken Soup
Alexandra Rowley
How to Make It
Step 1
Empty the salsa into a large saucepan. Cook for 2 minutes over medium-high heat, then add the chicken, beans, broth, and cumin (if desired). Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Top each bowl with a sprinkling of onions, a dollop of sour cream, and some tortilla chips (if desired). For a soupier dish, use 4 cups of broth.

I love how easy and tasty this recipe is. I often add corn salsa to it.

I love this recipe! I've made this a dozen times and it has become a favorite in my house. I've made it with added corn, throwing the green onions in while cooking, and with black beans. I top it with sour cream, cilantro, green onions, and tortilla chips. YUMM! I use La Costeña verde salsa, btw.

This is so easy to make and now a favorite of my family. I use Sun Vista pinto beans and a can of white beans. I also added cilantro and cheese. I fry my own tortillas in small strips to add to the soup. Best Tortilla soup I have eaten this side of the border!

I make this often, so good and simple/quick prep. I use black beans and prefer Herdez brand salsa verde. For garnish toppings, always use lime wedges to squeeze in each serving. Adds brightness and flavor. Also serve with shredded monterey jack or cheddar and crushed blue corn tortilla chips, and the green onions.

I ended up adding about a cup of sour cream to the soup while cooking, then letting it thicken for about 30 minutes so that it turned into white chicken chili. I'm really happy with how easy this was to make. Served it with nachos, and it tasted great!

I've been making this soup for years. It is the simplest recipe as is and I always get huge compliments. I took it to a potluck at my son's school (kept warm in a crockpot) and got raves. Everyone wanted the recipe. When my kids were younger I didn't put in as much cumin, but now they can handle it. This is a great recipe when you have an evening meeting and don't want to make a big dinner.

This has been a fav of my family for years, from the youngest to the oldest. If it's a bit spicy for someone, we heap on the sour cream. I love to add frozen corn and just use whatever beans I have in the pantry.

I made this last night and loved it! Normally when I'm making something new, I follow the recipe exactly, but I had some extra ingredients, so I added roasted sweet peppers, a diced jalapeno, and substituted monterey jack cheese for sour cream. The soup has great flavor and is so easy. I will definitely be sharing this recipe with friends and family.

I have made this recipe several times now. It is great! I have found that we do prefer it with a couple of changes. First, I use black beans instead of cannellini, and I add a little shredded cheese to each bowl at the end instead of sour cream. This is a very simple recipe that is perfect for a cold day.
