Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can I use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken?
A: Absolutely! Rotisserie chicken is a great time-saver. Just shred the chicken and add it to the soup.
Q: Can I make this soup spicier?
A: Yes! Add a pinch of cayenne pepper, a dash of hot sauce, or use spicier green chilies.
Q: Can I freeze this soup?
A: Yes, but it’s best to freeze it before adding the tortilla strips. The tortilla strips will become soggy if frozen with the soup.
Q: What kind of tortillas are best for the strips?
A: Either corn or flour tortillas work well. We prefer flour tortillas for a slightly softer texture.
Q: Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?
A: Yes! Sauté the onion and garlic as directed, then transfer all ingredients to a slow cooker. Cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
