Not to be nitpicky but it's not traditional at all.. the way he builds his flavors was really good but he missed the most important part. You need to toast the tortillas super crispy added too little of the soup broth like he did and blend that all together it's literally the backbone of the soup.. the entire broth taste like crispy tortillas.. Everything else he did was pretty solid.. But I wouldn't even call that tortilla soup.. just cuz you garnish the soup with some tortillas doesn't mean it should be the title of the soup..

He's making no claims of being traditional or authentic. If he had, you'd have a leg to stand on. Since he didn't, you're just a pretentious asshole trying to gatekeep a term.

That is awesome. Blending some of the soup in with adobo is genius. What also works really well is getting the frozen "fire roasted" corn for this, adds a nice bit of extra flavor.

You are literally the best chef on KZread right now. Glad to see you're getting the exposure

Really enjoying the weeknighting videos. Thanks for all your hard work - it’s making my kitchen smell so good!

I love that you have a fast meal on here. Great for easy weeknights, which I’m all about.

Bring on the soup series my guy! Been wanting to up my game there for a while now lol

I’m loving this weeknighting in series! Seriously so good. 🖤

Perfect timing with the weather getting colder!! More weeknighting!!! Loving this series

You are, hands down, the most entertaining chef on KZread. Love the idea of blending the chipotles/adobo into the broth. Doing that for sure next time.

Same here on my third recipe in three weeks. Great stuff!

I LOVE the weeknighting series! This looks amazing. 🎉

I make an almost identical soup to this including poblanos and chipotle in adobo. The only difference is instead of canned tomatoes I use Wegman’s jarred red chili sauce (basically an enchilada style sauce but way better than the brand name premade stuff). Over time it cooks together with the chicken stock very well and makes a really delicious soup base. I’m going to give this version a try this week!

you have basically made my vegetarian chili recipe with chicken stock instead of vegetable stock and chicken added. I know a woman in Alabama who makes some pretty dope chicken tortilla soup! Its a week night favorite and I make a double batch and freeze it. Thanks Bri.

Made the Tortilla soup this weekend. Absolutely easy and wonderful. Thanks Brian!

I just made this and it was a hit and my husband loved it! Thank you so much!

Made it twice. Loved it!

This is hands down my favorite, go-to recipe for chicken tortilla soup. I've made this recipe many times now. It's easy and super tasty.

I made this tonight, and whoa! The flavors mingle just perfectly together. Thanks for having some many delicious recipes. Everyone I have made is better than the last and they all are knock your socks off level

Cheers to you Brian, this was delicious!! I went all in and did as you said and we loved it! Blending some of the soup was a brilliant idea and made all the difference *chefs kiss*

Thank you for showing this soup

I just made this and it is superb! Thanks for the great recipe.

Made this tonight to prep lunches for the rest of the week. Ended up eating a full bowl to “sample” after I had already eaten dinner. This is one of my favorites, but every recipe I’ve made of yours is a hit! Thank you!!!

Just made this using your recipe…superb!!!

I just made this.. and its very good for the minimal effort thats involved. Simple and easy and quite fast if you have everything prepped already. Thanks for the recipe Bri!!

Brian, this is a fantastic recipe and we love making it. Best red chili we've had so far. Well done.

So good, so good!

Just made this! Easy recipe, easy to follow instructions, delicious outcome. I’ll make it again! I love your channel.

Love the series.

Made it tonight - awesome!

Rotisserie chicken is my go-to for salad fixin's. The drums and wings are excellent snacks.

I saw this recipe about a month ago and have made 3 times since. It’s so easy, so delicious and quick. Total win!

Wow! Love your version of tortilla soup. I was looking forward to hot soup for Monday dinner and this is it! I have some home made chili powder that will spice it up just right. Thanks for the stunning recipe Chef!

This chili has become one of my go-to recipes, especially for parties and pot-lucks. It was a hit at work, and this recipe makes enough to have lunch for most of the week.

He's so right. That golden chicken goop from store bought rotisserie chickens is BOMB. Flavor bomb for sure. Nice dish, B.

B man, this recipe is truly restaurant quality. I’ve made this a dozen times and it it absolutely incredible. Now one of my go tos and one of the best things to come out of my kitchen. Thank you!

Made this today with a combo of poblano, red bell, and jalapeno peppers. Outstanding recipe. Thank you!

On the menu Bri……. You are the best!

Finally got around to making this - really easy and lots of flavor!

this is a good cooking channel. fun to watch and listen to. Great receipes.

Made it. Loved it. Looking forward to thawing and reheating leftovers in a few weeks. Cheers, Brian!

Def making this.

This is perfect for cold Illinois weather! Thanks sweetheart ♥️

The "hidden-in-plane-sight" hero of this delicious dish; canned foods. That might fly in the face of "from scratch" pureist chefs but it flies in the face of the fact that many great foods are at the ready fill with pure flavor.

Recipe is so practical

Love it!!

Great recipe! I make it almost the same way, I only use canned everything:) and Instead of the store-bought chips I cut tortilla bread into strips, season with salt and pepper and olive oil, toast in the oven till they’re golden. I add the rest of the toppings and as you said, the texture is perfect!

Made this tonight. It was, in fact, dope.

Thank you for weighing your liquids, it just makes sense!

Hey Brian. I like this video, but I made some adjustments in the chicken broth area. After removing all of the meat from the carcass, I prepped the remaining ingredients and put them in the refrigerator. Then I added the drippings and carcass to a 1½ liter pot of chicken stock (I used Herb-Ox Sodium Free). I added in a smashed clove of garlic, a tsp of kosher salt, and a tsp of black peppercorns and simmered that for a couple of hours. When it was done, I strained the broth and put that in the refrigerator to assemble the rest of the recipe the next day. I know, it's not a 25 minute recipe, but the flavor is over the top! The only step I would have done, had I though about it first, was roasting the carcass before adding it to the stock. But this is a great recipe. Thanks!

I'm watching this while eating a nice bowl of chili for my lunch. I will definitely give this a try along with making some chicken noodle soup.

Definitely gonna make it this week! Being from NM, you know I have to sub Green Chile for the poblano but I'll keep everything else the same.

Made this last night and YUP!...came out great!! The blended chipotle peppers thing is a big brain move, too. Puts a tiny bit of spice and smokiness in the background...really adds a bit of depth. Really good!!

I'm definitely going to make this! Thanks for great content!

Omg this 😍 looks so delicious 😋

Bravo!!!

Bri this recipe was dope!!!! I made it tonight for the family and enjoyed it. I need to dial the spice level back just a tad for my little ones. Their favorite part was trying to scoop out chips with their bites. Even those the is a ‘half’ recipe it sure makes a lot of soup!

Nice job 👌.On my list.

I made this this the other day following your recipe, fantastic. I took the leftover soup and added Velveeta and cream cheese to it and it became probably the best chip dip i have had. Thanks for sharing this!

You're my college savior, gonna make a huge batch this weekend and freeze for immediate satisfaction for weekdays to come.

Its a great recipe and my take away from this is absolutely the thickening technique. I think there is great purpose in getting all the ingredients mingling in the background to support each bite's unique combination of components.

Oh! This one is a keeper for sure! Thx, I love these weekdays recepies. They are a gem to inspire new food on the table.

I make this all the time now. So easy and so delicious and easy! I put the remaining chipotles in a baggie, mash up the peppers with my fingers, and freeze flat. I break off a piece as I need it.

That’s looks amazing 🤤😍

I took a cooking class in Mexico and they blew my mind with the idea of pureeing tortillas into the soup base. I NEVER see anyone do that in American recipes for tortilla soup and it's a total game changer (and I don't think it would add any time to a weeknight dinner).

Thanks!

PS against my natural tendencies, I was badd too and kept the skin in. Dope.

I’m making this soup right now and my house smells AMAZING! I take the meat off the rotisserie chicken, then toss everything left (skin, bones, etc) into enough water to cover, boil then simmer it along with all the “garbage” veggie parts not going into the soup (onion & garlic skins, veggie ends, cilantro stalks, etc) while I’m cooking the soup veggies. I strain this through a colander and use it as the main liquid broth to really rev up that homemade aroma and flavor. 😋 Thank you for your awesome channel! 🍲

cool recipe!

Mr. Lagerstom, everybody who is an it getter appreciates the chicken skin and some - like me - consider it the best part of the chicken. That wobbly chicken goo (seasoned chicken collagen) at the bottom of the roti container (from the place that also sells big screen TVs) is amazeballs! Thanks for sharing this great recipe with lucky us!

A very different and American approach. I will have to make it. Nice and very explicative video.

I like taking organic corn tortillas, slicing into strips, then pour a generous amount of oil in a skillet to shallow fry them extra brown. Drain on paper bags or towels. Adding these extra toasted or fried bits in the beginning also increases viscosity after they dissolve, and the extra toast gives you another layer of flavor, boosting the “tortilla” part of “chicken tortilla soup.” You can save some as well for garnish.

I make this once a month the family loves it

Excellent use of shortcut items from the Pantry. It might be good to see a grocery shopping/pantry episode that discusses useful frozen vegetables, the flexibility of rotisserie chicken, items prepped for later in the week, a stock-making schedule (twice a month?) or other tips that help us be ready to throw together meals like this. Building Blocks for future meals.

Way late to this one, but with the use of the rotisserie chicken, it's the perfect starting point for the stock base. Add in the parts chopped off of the other veggies (minus the avocado rind and garlic papers) plus whatever other scraps are leftover from the rest of the week, stew for a few hours and strain and you're a good deal of the way there.

Just made and it came out so good. Chicken is really optional here. Even before adding the chicken, it felt very robust and delicious

I'm not sure if you're naturally this awkward or if you just play up all the faces for the camera, but I'm 100% here for it. This is my favorite new cooking channel. Great recipes, good editing, equally awkward and funny host. its got it all.

Made this recipe last night and can definitely say it rocks. I ate three bowls, my wife ate two big bowls, and my niece devoured hers. And had plenty left over. Big thumbs up.

I’m going to make this

Made this a few weeks ago, and making it again tonight, absolutely delicious. I love that it's adaptable. Last time I used white kidney beans, because I didn't have red on hand, and tonight I'm using it with the two chicken breasts I have left over from a chicken I roasted on Friday night.

Made it and it was awesome. I substituted knorr chicken bouillon for salt for extra flavor and my favorite white powder. MSG!

I bit the bullet and made this since coincidentally I had literally everything to make this. Beautiful tasting soup. Perfect for when it’s crappy out. Can’t wait to have it the next day and freeze the rest.

I made this soup today, simply the best tasting soup EVER, my new favorite. where I live we can't find poblano peppers (small town Alberta) so just used a red pepper. will keep an eye out for poblanos. Thanks Brian

I know I am late in finding this but seriously… this soup tastes incredible!!!! Thank you!

Just made a similar recipe! Used chicken thighs cooked in the instant pot on high pressure for 1 hour to shred the meat. Also added the whole can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce and chopped the peppers as well as a can of lentils for extra protein and filling calories. Came out phenomenally. I'm actually eating it for lunch as I watch the vid!
