Quick Chicken Tortilla Soup

I grew up loving the chicken tortilla soup from El Torito in the Valley and haven’t stopped missing those delish flavors!

I recreated the dish by adding fiber-rich ingredients like black beans and high-protein bone broth with collagen. For More Recipes Visit Our Origin Nutrition Website.

The fiber found in foods like beans contains bioactive compounds that have been studied for their health benefits! Researchers have linked dietary fiber intake to reduced cholesterol, weight loss and improved digestion.

Not only that, but a combination of protein and fiber in a meal is a perfect pairing to promote feelings of fullness and regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day.

The toppings added to boost the nutritional value of the soup by boosting heart-healthy fats and immune-boosting vitamin C along with other micronutrients.

 

Here’s what you’ll need:
