Costco Chicken Tortilla Soup Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed chicken broth
• 1 ¼ cups water
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 large boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup whole corn kernels, cooked
• 1 cup white hominy
• 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chile peppers
• ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
• ½ cup crushed tortilla chips, or to taste
• 2 medium avocados, sliced, or to taste
• ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, or to taste

How To Make Costco Chicken Tortilla Soup

1. Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and fragrant. Stir in the chili powder and dried oregano and cook for another 30 seconds.
2. Build the broth: Pour in the crushed tomatoes, condensed chicken broth, and water. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
3. Add the fillings: Stir in the rinsed black beans, cooked chicken pieces, corn, hominy, chopped green chiles, and fresh cilantro. Return the soup to a simmer and cook for 10 more minutes.
4. Serve with toppings: Ladle the hot soup into individual bowls. Let everyone customize their own bowl with toppings like crushed tortilla chips, fresh avocado slices, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and chopped green onions.

Recipe Tips

• How to save on prep time? Using a store-bought rotisserie chicken is a fantastic shortcut. Simply shred the meat and add it in place of the cooked chicken breast.
• Can I make it spicier? To increase the heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper, a dash of your favorite hot sauce, or a diced jalapeño along with the onions and garlic.
• How to get a creamier soup? For a richer, creamier texture, stir in a dollop of sour cream or a splash of heavy cream into individual bowls before serving.
• Can I use different beans? Yes, if you don’t have black beans, pinto beans or kidney beans would also work well in this recipe.

What To Serve With Chicken Tortilla Soup

This soup is a full meal, especially with all the toppings, but it also pairs wonderfully with:

• Cheese quesadillas
• Warm cornbread with honey butter
• A simple side salad with a lime vinaigrette

How To Store Chicken Tortilla Soup

• Refrigerate: Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. It’s best to store the toppings separately and add them fresh when reheating.
• Freeze: This soup freezes very well. Let it cool completely and store it in a freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating on the stovetop.
