Drool-worthy right? So fresh and vibrant even as the leaves are falling outside and everything is dying back. Soup season has officially begun when I make this recipe.

Top off your Chicken Tortilla Soup with all of your favorite things like:

• Cilantro
• Fresh lime juice
• Avocado
• Sour cream
• Chopped tomatoes
• Fresh corn kernels
• Tortilla chips
• Jalapenos
• Hot sauce
• Shredded cheeses
• Green onions
• Smoked chipotle chili powder
• Garlic
• Cumin
• Sea salt

Garnishing Chicken Tortilla Soup

Use as many, or as few of these items to top or garnish the Chicken Tortilla Soup. It’s simple to set aside a bit of your regular ingredients as you prepare them and add them to the top of the soup after. Even if you choose not to add ingredients- you can still make it look garnished.

If you are looking to go all out and use this for a great family night or when you host this year Halloween Party- you could set up a little topping buffet and let everyone dress their own bowls. Trust me; this will be a crowd pleaser at any event.

Here is the recipe for Quick Chicken Tortilla soup that tastes slow simmered!
