To a large stockpot add the chicken, beans, corn, tomatoes, green chilies, spices, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil then turn down to a simmer for 15 minutes. If using frozen chicken breasts simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature hits 165°F.

Using a pizza cutter cut the tortillas into strips and place them into a mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and the reserved seasonings and mix gently using clean hands. Spread onto the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until they start to crisp and brown.

Use tongs to remove the chicken then use a thermometer to make sure the internal temperature is 165°F. Shred the chicken with 2 forks and place the chicken back into the soup.

If in a pinch, we recommend shredding rotisserie chicken in place of chicken breasts. Chicken thighs or chicken tenderloins could also be cooked and shredded if desired.

Easily make this soup in a slow cooker by adding the ingredients and cooking on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-6 hours then adding the baked tortilla strips and any additional toppings prior to serving.

Smoked Chicken (or Turkey) Tortilla Soup

I often get requests from people wanting more recipes and ideas for family meals. I well remember that after my diagnosis, one of the big questions I had was, “What am I going to feed my family for dinner?”

Over the years, I’ve adapted a lot of recipes to suit our gluten-free household. I’ve posted many gluten-free main dishes. My gluten-free soup recipes are the most popular meals on my site, and all of them are family favorites too.

I thought it was time for a new soup recipe to add to our rotation of family friendly soups. I remembered having a chicken tortilla soup years ago, which was good, albeit a bit simple/boring. I thought I might be able to use that as a base recipe and then add additional seasonings and ideas I’ve picked up along the way that could improve the soup.

Whole30 Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Less Soup (paleo)

While I’d previously had this soup with crunchy corn tortilla strips, this time I wanted to see if I could use gluten-free flour tortillas. My only concern was that flour tortillas mightget mushy quickly. I’m happy to say that I discovered a method that works perfectly and results in crunchy flour tortilla strips that are just perfect mixed in with the soup.

The gluten-free tortilla strips are made by brushing the gluten-free tortilla with olive oil and sprinkling with salt, then slicing with a pizza cutter into strips. Then the strips are baked in a hot oven until crispy.

The soup itself is gluten-free and dairy-free. You can use dairy-free cheese and dairy-free sour cream alternative on top if you need to be dairy-free, or just omit them. The soup is quite flavorful enough without them too.
