Best Chicken Tortilla Soup Chock-full of veggies and autumn color, this soup is ideal for using up fresh garden bounty. Then add on the toppings: a nice dollop of sour cream, onions, avocado, cheese (Monterey Jack is good), and—don't leave this out—cilantro! The cilantro adds some scrumptious freshness. Chicken tortilla soup, with its spicy tomato broth, crunchy tortilla chips, and gooey cheese, has long been one of my favorite dishes to order at Mexican restaurants. I never even thought to make it at home because, frankly, I thought it was fussy.
