Equipment
- Whisk
- Oven
- Large Pot
- Saucepan
- Chef's Knife
- Mixing Bowl
- Wooden Spoon
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 10 oz can cream of chicken soup
- 1 10 oz can cream of celery soup
- 2 cups frozen, sliced carrots
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or chopped
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup milk
Instructions
- Begin by placing chicken broth into a dutch oven or a large heavy-bottom pot over medium heat. As the broth warms, take a moment to appreciate the savory aroma that fills your kitchen.
- Once the broth is gently simmering, whisk in the cream of chicken soup and cream of celery soup. Stir until fully combined, allowing the mixture to bubble lightly.
- Let this mixture simmer for about 10 minutes. It’s during this time that the flavors begin to meld, creating a rich and creamy broth that will be the heart of your dish.
- Now, stir in the frozen sliced carrots, along with the cooked chicken, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This is where the dish starts to come to life with color and texture.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Watch as it bubbles invitingly, signaling that your comforting meal is just moments away.
- Next, cut the flour tortillas into 1 inch squares using a pizza cutter. This will make the tortillas easier to mix into the soup without tearing.
- Gently add the tortilla squares to the soup. Press them down slightly to submerge, but be careful not to stir too vigorously to avoid tearing them apart.
- Once the tortillas are in, bring the mixture to a gentle boil again. This second boil helps the tortillas soften and absorb the delightful flavors of the broth.
- Reduce the heat and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes. During this time, the tortillas will become doughy and tender, resembling dumplings.
- Finally, remove the pot from heat and gently stir in milk. This last step adds creaminess to your dish, making it irresistibly rich. Serve immediately for the best experience!
