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.
