Copycat Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup (Updated)
It was my intense love for all things Chick-fil-A that first inspired me to try to make a copycat version of their delicious chicken tortilla soup at home. I originally shared the recipe for my version of the soup here, and it’s definitely one of my most popular. It all started with a few ingredients I jotted down one day, and after some experimenting and tweaking, I’ve updated the recipe to what I think is an even better version! And so easy!
Here’s all you need:
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4-oz can of diced green chilies
- 1 taco seasoning packet (hot or mild, depending on your preference)
- 32-oz carton of chicken broth
- (1) 15-oz can black beans, drained
- (3) 15-oz cans navy beans, drained
- (1) 15-oz can yellow corn, drained
- 3 cups, cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 cup heavy cream
Heat the olive oil in a large pot, add the onions, and cook until translucent. Next, add the green chilies, the taco seasoning packet, chicken broth, all the canned items, and the chicken. Bring to a boil, then allow to simmer for several minutes until heated through. Lastly, add the cream and heat for at least 5-10 more minutes. Serve with tortilla chips and top with shredded cheese, if desired.
This yields a large pot of soup, and it’s perfect for freezing a portion for another meal later!
‘Tis the season for yummy soups! Hope you enjoy this like we do!

I’ve never had the Chick-Fil-A version of this (it’s hard for me to stray from my spicy chicken sandwich!) but I’m definitely going to test out this at-home recipe! It seriously would be perfect for one of our church soup lunches!

Yes! It would be great for a soup lunch! And since you love the spicy sandwich, I think you’ll like the soup too!

We’ve been traveling a lot lately and eating our fair share of Chick Fil A. Have never tried this soup but it sounds delicious and we have some leftover chicken in the fridge. Will have it for dinner tomorrow evening. Thank you!

Love the Chick Fil A soup, and really enjoyed your recipe. I stirred in some masa at the end and it helped thicken. Also added cumin. Will make again

Sure! Those ingredients are in most taco seasoning packets, but you could always add more if you want to!

Have you frozen the leftover soup with the cream added or add on cooking day? Thanks!

I have frozen it with the cream, but I suppose you could do it either way!
