Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup (All Dollar General Ingredients)

Episode 6: How Many Dinners Can I Make for $40?

Today's dinner is a basic Chicken Tortilla Soup, and it was the perfect way to use up what I had left.

Here's what I got:

Roasted chicken rice:

Into a pot I dumped my leftover corn, chili beans, and diced tomatoes with green chiles with all their liquid. I added the last chicken breast and 1 tablespoon of taco seasoning, then let it simmer for 30 minutes.

While that cooked, I made the rice in my cooker with 2¼ cups water and 2 tablespoons of oil. I also cut one flour tortilla into strips and fried them until crispy.

Shred the chicken and stir it back into the soup. Add rice to each bowl, ladle the soup on top, then finish with tortilla strips, sour cream, and cheese. Enjoy!
