When the weather turns crisp and the leaves start piling up outside, I always find myself craving a big bowl of something cozy — and nothing hits the spot quite like my Chicken Tortilla Soup. I’ve been making this recipe for years, and I still look forward to it every time.

I actually made a batch just the other day in my crockpot and shared it in my stories — and so many of you asked for the recipe! So here it is, fresh from my kitchen to yours. It’s simple, flavorful, and one of those soups that tastes even better the next day (and yes, it freezes beautifully if you have leftovers).
