To buy
- 1 small rotisserie chicken
From your shelf
- 1 box Swanson flavor infused broth, Mexican tortilla
Staples
- 2 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Tear 8 tortilla chips from the box into rough pieces and fry them until crisp and golden, about 3 minutes, stirring often. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
- Pour the entire contents of the broth box into the pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. While it warms, shred 6 ounces of rotisserie chicken with two forks into bite-sized pieces.
- Once the broth simmers, add the shredded chicken and stir gently until heated through, about 2 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Ladle the soup into two bowls and top each with the fried tortilla strips and a small handful of additional tortilla chips if you like more texture.
Note Swap rotisserie chicken for shredded canned chicken or cooked leftover chicken if you have it. Leftovers keep refrigerated for three days; reheat gently on the stovetop. Serve with lime wedges and a cold beer or rice on the side to soak up the broth.
