One of my favorite (and quickest) soups that I make is chicken tortilla soup. Been making it for decades! So I thought to myself, why not make an Asian-fusion version of this classic?

This Asian-Inspired Chicken Tortilla Soup literally takes about 30 minutes from start to table! Hints of ginger, soy and sambal chili paste give this soup that Asia-meets-Mexico flavoring. Loaded with fresh veggies, simple chicken stock, and diced tomatoes, there is nothing in here that is not good for you! Topped with slices of avocados and fresh cilantro, this Asian-Inspired Chicken Tortilla Soup will make you say, “¡Mas, por favor!”
