Creamy Chipotle, Chicken & Tomato Soup is an amazing recipe that comes together in 15 minutes, but has deep rich flavors of a soup that simmered for hours! With fire roasted tomatoes, chipotle pepper, light coconut milk and cilantro, this soup is rocking bold and delicious flavors that will warm you up on these cold winter days.
I am obsessed with this soup. After I made a batch and devoured about half of it, I immediately texted my sister about it and how wonderful it was. She is on a healthy eating kick, so she always appreciates any ideas for healthy meals that taste great. She responded to send me a link to the post as soon as it was up. I couldn’t wait, so I sent her a picture as soon as it was edited.
Well, her response was a bit underwhelming at that point. Apparently this soup doesn’t have the same visual appeal, as it does flavor appeal. So please, I beg you, forgive it’s less than stellar appearance and give this amazing soup a chance!
I have made this so many times when I am in a rush after work to get something on the table. It is as easy and sauteing an onion, dumping a few cans in your pot, giving it a quick buzz with your immersion blender and stirring in some chicken and cilantro. So easy and so delicious, you will be in love!

This was stupendous! My husband loved it too. I left off the tortilla strips and used shrimp instead of chicken and it was wonderful!

So glad you and your husband loved it! Shrimp sounds like a fantastic alternate to chicken in this.
