Trisha Yearwood’s Chicken Tortilla soup is by the BEST chicken tortilla soup recipe I’ve ever made. She had this on her show the weekend before Halloween and it looked really good, so I thought I’d give a try. All of the recipes that she makes look really good, and she also sometimes will sing on her show. She has a really nice voice and she can cook.

FYI: I am not Trisha Yearwood. I’m just a food blogger who loves watching her show and making her recipes.

Lower Sodium Tortilla Soup Option

I edited this recipe a bit to make it lower in sodium and also more Weight Watcher Friendly. I used salt-free canned corn and low sodium chicken broth. I know they have low sodium black beans, but I didn’t get any of those. If you aren’t watching your sodium intake just use cans that don’t say salt-free on them.

Also, Mrs. Dash has some Fajita seasoning that I just loved with this and it’s salt-free! I love finding canned products that are low in sodium because of my blood pressure. Now, if only I could find a good low sodium salsa. This is by far, my most favorite Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe I have on this blog. It’s great to make once the Fall Season starts coming and great topped with cheese and crushed tortilla chips.

Chicken Tortilla Soup 029

This recipe might be my new go-to recipe for chicken tortilla soup. The recipe makes a TON, so if you’re only making the soup for 2 people I’d half the recipe. I’m thinking about freezing the rest of it because there’s so much. One of the reasons I like this recipe is because it doesn’t call for a whole brick of Velveeta cheese. It’s nice and creamy without that processed cheese. To make it lighter I cut back on the half-and-half and used 1% milk. You can also cut back on the butter a bit and use light butter. I’d make this recipe again.

    You mentioned you are in need of low sodium salsa. Makes your own with all fresh veggies. Just don’t use salt, Use Mrs dash instead. I make it all the time when I have fresh veggies from the garden.

    My picky family loved it! I did not add butter, flour and milk. I used 2 cans of cream of chicken to cut calories and fat. For the chicken, I used fajita chicken thighs in the same pot and it was delicious!! Will definitely use this recipe again and again!

    This was so delicious. I used pinto beans instead if the black beans and I used a rotisserie chicken. Everyone LOVED it!
    Will definitely be making this again. Don’t forget to top it off with some avocado.
