Gluten-free chicken tortilla soup is packed with chicken, beans, and tomatoes and then topped with homemade tortilla strips. This is a kid's favorite that's made in just 30 minutes.
⭐️Combine the soup ingredients. To a large stockpot add the chicken, beans, corn, tomatoes, green chilies, spices, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer for 15 minutes.
⭐️Make the tortilla strips. Using a pizza cutter cut the tortillas into strips and place them into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and the reserved seasonings, and mix gently using clean hands. Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they start to crisp and brown.
⭐️Shred the chicken. Use tongs to remove the chicken then use a thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165°F. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and place the chicken back into the soup.
Serve. Serve the soup with the tortilla strips and your favorite toppings such as shredded cheese or avocado slices.
Notes
Serve without any sides as a complete meal or pair with a side salad, crusty slice of gluten free bread, gf grilled cheese or our famous gluten-free corn bread muffins.
Easily make this soup in a slow cooker by adding the ingredients and cooking on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours then adding the baked tortilla strips and any additional toppings prior to serving.
Store in the fridge for up to 3 days (without the tortilla strips) or in the freezer for up to 3 months (without the tortilla strips).
Along with the tortilla strips, add toppings such as shredded cheese, jalapenos, bell peppers or avocado slices.
