Chipotle tortilla soup is a delicious, affordable meal that we enjoy often in our house. This recipe is a great use of leftover grilled chicken, and it’s ready in less than 30 minutes.

The chipotle gives this soup a nice kick. You can add even more to make it spicier, and substitute different vegetables depending on what you have on hand. I love the simple, comforting flavor combo in this soup.

      Thanks! Justa made a great suggestion about chipotles in adobo sauce. Freeze them in small segments so you can take out a little bit at a time. I used an ice cube tray and then transferred them to a zipper baggie.

        That is a good suggestion, and I think I should do that with tomato sauce, too. Seems I always end up with half cans of paste and mold. 😛

        Me too! Even with the smallest possible can of tomato paste. . .
