Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

This Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe is an easy 30 minute meal! This soup is perfect for your weeknight dinner menu!

People, I hate grocery shopping! There, I said it. I put off my grocery shopping trips until I have to spend 2 hours at the store to replenish my pantry and refrigerator.

I used to love grocery shopping. But as a food blogger I have spent so much time at the store that it is now a dreaded errand. Don’t get me started about shopping with a 5 year old. I know . . . wahhhhh.

My complete aversion to grocery shopping is why I was so excited to get a sneak peek at this new cookbook, Express Lane Cooking. Not only is it written and photographed by a fellow food blogger, Shawn Syphus of the blog I Wash… You Dry. {She also happens to be one of the nicest gals I have ever met.} But, this cookbook was made for people like me!

Express Lane Cooking is a collection of over 80 recipes. Each recipe consists of 5 main ingredients that can be grabbed quickly at the grocery store. Get it … Express Lane Cooking? Because with 5 ingredients you can use the express lane. So clever. And each combination of ingredients will work for 3 different meals from this cookbook!

Each recipe is very approachable and accompanied by a full size drool-worthy photograph. I love cookbooks that have a photo for every recipe. We need to know what the food is supposed to look like, right!?!?

This cookbook has 5 recipe categories: Leave It To The Birds – Poultry, Meat Me In The Kitchen – Beef/Pork, Plenty Of Fish In The Sea – Seafood, Let’s Veg – Meatless Meals and A Sweet Ending – 5 Ingredient Desserts.

I was instantly drawn to the Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe because, duh . . . just look at it. It looked beyond delicious and I was not disappointed. The best part was that I had almost all of the ingredients and this took less than 30 minutes to prepare. Yes, you read that right. Less than 30 minutes for this amazingly flavorful Chicken Tortilla Soup!
