About Me

I'm Ashley, the one-woman village behind this little blog! Living in my thirties era and happily married to my soul mate. Cat mom to our two precious rescue cats, Draino and Pepper, both crossed the rainbow bridge but are never forgotten. I’m obsessed with grabbing iced coffee, watching court cases, check marking my to-do list, fresh air, cozy blankets, helping others, and saying ‘I love you’ before every goodbye.

I'm so happy you're here and can't wait to connect with you on all the marvelous things!

So I whipped up my favorite quick and easy chicken tortilla soup, and it really hit the spot! Warm, comforting, and perfect for nights when you want something delicious without spending all evening in the kitchen.
 
Be sure to save this post so you can come back easily to the recipe!
 
🥣 Chicken Tortilla Soup — Stovetop
 
Ingredients
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts (cooked — diced or shredded)
• ½ cup diced yellow onion
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 (15 oz) can chicken broth
• 1 cup water
• 1 (15 oz) can corn — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can original Rotel — undrained
• 1 (10 oz) can enchilada sauce
• 1 envelope taco seasoning
• ½ tsp chili powder
 
Directions
Add everything to a pot on the stove, mix well, and let simmer for 1 hour. The flavor gets even better the longer it sits, but since everything’s already cooked, it’s ready once heated through!
 
Top with tortilla strips, cheese, sour cream, or whatever your heart desires. 🤤 I love to serve this soup with cheesy garlic bread!
 
What’s your go-to winter comfort meal?
