Chicken Tortilla soup is Delicious and Packed with Protein
It’s week 2 of the H-E-B Meal Maker Challenge with ConAgra Foods where I’ve been asked to share Kid Friendly Family Meals to make in under 30 minutes. In total, 5 recipes with 5 different ingredients to start with. This weeks dinner is Chicken Tortilla Soup. Full of protein, you will love this healthy and delicious tortilla soup recipe.
This week our ingredient to use was Hunt’s Diced Tomato’s. This is an ingredient that we always use when making one of our family favorites, Chicken Tortilla Soup! It so quick and easy to make and the texture with the crunchy tortilla strips is delicious. Chicken, diced tomatoes, and beans make up the base of this meal, which makes it hearty and filling as well. You can add or take away any ingredients as desired, too. Disclosure: I received compensation for this contest, but the thoughts are all my own.
We make many variations of this meal at my home almost weekly, and the kids will often cheer when they hear about it. I love that sound!

I’ll eat this all year round, but a warm, hearty soup always sounds delicious on a chilly fall night–I long for that chill in the air;) If you are in Texas, head to H-E-B, there is a coupon this week for the Hunt’s diced tomatoes!
