McAlister's Deli is a popular chain of sandwich and soup restaurants in the US that is known for its delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup. This creamy soup is made with chicken broth, cooked chicken, Rotel tomatoes, and Velveeta cheese, and is often served with a handful of crispy tortilla chips on top. Our version of the soup is inspired by McAlister's Deli and is just as delicious and comforting. Whether you are looking for a quick lunch or a cozy dinner, this Chicken Tortilla Soup is the perfect choice.

Instructions

1.	In a large pot, heat the chicken broth over medium heat.
2.	Add the chunked cooked chicken and Rotel tomatoes to the pot, stirring to combine.
3.	Reduce the heat to low and let the ingredients simmer for 10 minutes.
4.	Cut the Velveeta cheese into small cubes and add to the pot, stirring until the cheese has melted and is fully incorporated into the soup.
5.	Serve the soup hot with a handful of tortilla chips on top.

PROS

CONS

As with most soups, this Chicken Tortilla Soup can be high in sodium and calories, especially if you add a lot of tortilla chips to your bowl.
