This Smoked Chicken Tortilla Soup<\/strong> is a delicious way to use up leftover smoked chicken or turkey<\/strong>! It’s packed with healthy ingredients<\/strong> like black beans, tomatoes, corn, and peppers, this tortilla soup packs a smoky punch from smoked chicken and smoked paprika, thickened with a masa slurry that adds a toasty corn flavor<\/strong> to the whole thing. Top with crispy tortilla strips, avocado, cilantro, and other fixings for the ultimate comfort in a bowl!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you have leftover smoked turkey from Thanksgiving? Here’s what to do with it! Make this delicious tortilla soup that’s easy to make in one pot, with 20 minutes of prep, and is freezable<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like to make a batch and freeze half of it<\/strong> – come those cold January winter nights, it’s a welcome item to run into in your freezer for a quick and easy, warm and cozy dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This batch was made with a leftover half smoked chicken from my favorite BBQ food truck, Crimson Creek BBQ<\/a>, in Austin. I got a little extra and even made smoked chicken stock from the carcass (and some leftover rib bones)<\/em> for the base of the soup. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, if you have the time (I’ll explain how below).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
