Why You'll Love This:

• A quick and easy dinner for a fast weeknight meal!
• The chicken broth, lime, and cumin do "all the work" for you! It adds so much flavor in just 3 simple steps
• A great way to use up extra cooked chicken sitting in the fridge
• This dinner is even faster if you use store-bought rotisserie chicken

Serving and Garnishing Tips:

• You can make a big batch of this soup on the weekend to last throughout the week
• Prepare the broth, add the cumin, tomatoes, and chicken
• Then before serving add the tortilla chips, lime juice, avocado and fresh cilantro

Make This Soup Cheesy!

• This soup is pretty healthy as is, but if you wanted to "kick it up a notch" and make it a bit more decadent, add some cheese!
• I like to use the 3 Cheese Finely Shredded Mexican Cheese on top of this soup because it melts quickly and adds a wonderful gooeyness against the flavors of the soup and the tortillas

Baking the Tortilla Chips:

• Slice the tortilla strips thinly for the best crunch
• The corn tortilla will crisp up better than flour tortillas
• You can bake them in the oven or the air fryer too! 
• Follow my recipe for homemade Air Fryer Tortilla Chips for larger chips

For Additional Flavor:

• Adding some dried oregano to the chicken broth as well
• You can also add some heat via freshly sliced jalapenos or a shake or two or red pepper flakes
