Years ago, my hubby and I ran to Chick Fil A for lunch. I had planned on getting some fries with my sandwich, but because it was a cold and dreary day, I decided to change things up and try their Chicken Tortilla Soup.
When it came out, I quickly gave it a try and immediately fell in love. In fact, I wanted another bowl versus moving on to the sandwich. It was THAT good!
Creamy chicken tortilla soup recipe with two kinds of beans, corn, and a burst of heat from green chiles. Add your favorite toppings and make it your own!
It quickly became my go to side dish anytime we went there for lunch!
Fast forward a few years and when my hubby and I went there for lunch, I heard the five words I didn’t want to hear, “we are out of the soup”. What?!?! Oh no! I moved on with my order but made the decision to try my hand at an at home version so I would never have to go without when that craving hit!
After only a few test batches, this version came about and was pretty darn close if I do say so myself. Creamy, flavor packed soup with shredded chicken, tomatoes, beans, corn, and more! The best part is loading this up with favorite toppings! Sometimes I go crazy with toppings, other times I keep it simple!

Very, very good! I love the cx tortilla soup at Chic filet and was excited to try this copy cat version. Didn’t add or change anything.
Hope you enjoy it!
Kristin Hayes says
Yay! Glad you enjoy the recipe as much as we do!
Amy says
I love this soup!! I cook the chicken in the crock pot with taco seasoning before adding. I also blend the Rotel for personal taste and because it’s more visually appealing. It’s delicious either way, and as simple as opening several cans and turning on the stove.
Kristin says
Yay!! Love hearing this! So glad you enjoy it as much as my family!!
Michelle says
The soup was so good! It tastes just like Chick Filet soup. I didn’t change anything, but used fire roasted rotel and frozen corn, that’s what I had on hand.
Kristin says
Yay! I love hearing that! It is such a favorite in my house, glad you enjoyed as well!!
Kitty Carnes says
This recipe was good but I found that it was lacking something. I added an 8 ounce block of cream cheese and two cups of shredded sharp cheddar. Those additions took it over the top.
Kristin says
Great additions! I love changing things up to try new variations and flavors, so I will give those tips a try too! Glad you enjoyed it!
