I love getting rotisserie chicken from Costco. Sometimes I buy multiples just for the ease and cost of having cooked chicken. I’ll shred it while it’s still warm and place it right into tupperware. So for this recipe I used 3/4 of a rotisserie chicken, I’m always generous on the meat. This made the soup literally a 5 minute prep.
I love soups that you can garnish yourself and this one was no exception. I filled platters of sour cream, avocados, cilantro, tortilla strips and diced tomatoes. This allows every person to individualize their soup to their liking.
I served it to my family Christmas Eve and all I heard was yum, what’s in this soup? It was an instant favorite.
Try it this year and it will be something everyone will love!
