Homemade Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup

Jump to Recipe

This homemade take on Chick-fil-A’s Chicken Tortilla Soup tastes even better than the original and you can enjoy it year-round and even on Sundays!

Homemade Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup

A Bowl of Heaven

Have y’all tried Chick-fil-A’s chicken tortilla soup? I’m obsessed! It’s delicious. The only bummer is that it’s a seasonal menu item that they only sell during the winter months. Why, oh why?? I crave soup year-round and since I love their chicken tortilla soup so much, I had to come up with a homemade version before they take it off the menu again!

Homemade Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup

It’s a hearty yet healthier soup, loaded with beans, veggies and chicken breast, and with the perfect blend of spices. I was on a mission to recreate its tastiness exactly, but guess what?! I’m pretty confident I made it even tastier. 🙂 And, depending on where you live in proximity to a Chick-fil-A, this homemade version might be quicker and easier to make than driving there to get it. Or at least it is for me, especially if I have all four kiddos in tow! It’s a one-pot wonder that can be ready to enjoy in about 20 minutes. I bet it would taste great in a slow cooker, too!

Homemade Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup

Accept No Substitutes (Except Maybe This One)

The creaminess of the soup comes from pureeing two cans of cannellini beans along with a can of cream-style corn instead of adding fatty cream, sour cream, or cream of “something” soup. This chicken tortilla soup recipe is packed with protein, fiber, flavor and, most importantly, comfort.

How to Make Homemade Chick-Fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup

First, heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Let saute for about 5 minutes until onions become translucent. Stir in cumin, oregano and salt.

Meanwhile, puree 2 cans of cannellini beans in a blender until smooth. Do not drain beans of liquid before blending.

Add pureed beans, remaining can of cannellini beans, 2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles, cream-style corn, whole kernel corn, black beans, and shredded chicken to onion mixture in the pot (do not drain any cans of their liquid) Stir to combine. Let soup simmer over medium heat until heated all the way through. Add lime juice and season with salt to taste before serving. Serve with tortilla strips or tortilla chips and lime wedges, if you choose.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Since the boys always get chicken nuggets when we go to Chick-fil-A, they had never tried the yumminess that is their chicken tortilla soup. So when I recreated and perfected it at home, they quickly realized what they’ve been missing out on and why Mama is so excited to frequent Chick-fil-A in the winter months. 😉 They love my homemade version and now beg for it, especially with tortilla strips on top!

    I can attest that this recipe is amazing! It tastes just like the real stuff too! And the recipe makes enough for a huge family! I have leftovers for days! I was particularly impressed that the puréed beans thickend it so nicely and didn’t taste weird. Great way to avoid the extra fat from cream. But it tasted so creamy! My only changes were that I used a packet of low sodium taco seasoning instead of the cumin and oregano, and I diced up a jalapeño in on top of the rotel to give it an extra kick, it was delicious! I’m defiantly adding this to my list of favorite recipes.

      Hi Helen! No, I don’t drain the canned ingredients for this soup. The liquid from the canned ingredients contributes to the flavor and texture of the soup. Enjoy! 🙂

        Oh Meagan, I just killed the recipe!! I added a package of low sodium taco seasoning, as well as a packet of dry ranch seasoning. Instead of plain black beans, I used 2 cans of Bush’s Sidekicks Black Bean, Taco seasoned. I’m telling you, it’s spot on!! Along with the tortilla strips, I chopped up some green onion to give it a little freshness! This is definitely a keeper. My husband even really liked it….and he’s an East Texas meat and potato guy!!

      You can also make your own… Coincidentally, I just had Chic-Fil-A tortilla soup for dinner. (It’s what prompted me to seek the recipe!) The packet of strips with it listed ingredients. Leaving out what can’t be pronounced leaves citric acid and lime “solids,” dehydrated parsley, onion powder, and garlic powder. When eating them, I could definitely taste the lime. I would take regular tortilla chips squirt lime juice on them then sprinkle/toss them with a mixture of parsley flakes (or ground parsley flakes??), onion powder, and garlic powder to taste.

I didn’t have rotisserie chicken so I cooked some frozen breasts in my instant pot and shredded it in the food processor after the beans. 5 stars from my family and my 1.5 yr old!

    I have been so sick with sinus infection and craving this soup. I went to CFA to purchase today and for some reason found it so much spicier than in previous years. I’m hoping person who made it today just put too much spices because I don’t remember it being so spicy. I have four kiddos (4, 6, 11 and 12) they won’t eat it if it’s that spicy. But after reading the comments several kiddos enjoyed this recipe therefore I’m going to try to make it myself. Any suggestions on if I should minimize a certain ingredient so it won’t be as spicy for them?

      Hi Marisa! I hear ya. Just make sure you use a mild Rotel and it will for sure not be spicy. I use regular Rotel and all of my kiddos will still eat it, but just to be on the safe side, use the mild can. I hope everyone loves it! 🙂

    Looks like a great recipe. It looks even easier than the original. I just watched the video from Chick-fil-A, and they were talking about the ingredients. The red bits are red bell peppers, instead of tomatoes (although I’m sure they’re fine). I also see her sniffing some thyme and parsley or cilantro. Another chef also mentioned sour cream and a “special” type of flour. But, like you, I figured pureeing some beans would add body to the soup. Keep up the good work!

    I just made this and my family is pretty impressed. We kicked it up a notch and added a bit more spice – but I would never have been able to come up with this starting point. Thanks!!

    Love this soup….veganized! I sub out the chicken for 2 cans of jackfruit (in brine) rinsed and shredded and marinated in some poultry seasoning and 1-2 t of Better Than Bouillon Vegetable Base. I’ve shared it with all of my non-vegan friends and everyone agrees it’s delicious! Thanks for a great recipe!

      Hi Shell! I get them at Target or most major grocery stores. They’re usually by the salad dressings with the croutons. Here’s the link to them on Amazon: https://amzn.to/2Q0bCDA Enjoy!

    I’m one of those who got excited every year when this was at Chick Fil A. I used to joke with the managers that they need to sell a five gallon container.

    Well it hit me that someone had to have figured out the recipe by now!

    Well, let me just say THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! It was spot on!❤️

      Hi Brooke! Yes, you can definitely use refried beans, but the taste will be more of a pinto bean flavor. Just be sure to stir the refried beans in well so there’s not clumps throughout the soup. Enjoy!

    While this recipe is very good it tastes nothing like chick-fil-a’s chicken tortilla soup. The Chick-fil-A soup has more of a chili flavor with no tomatoes and pinto beans instead of canellini beans.

    Maegan, I made your soup recipr and it turned out perfect. I used a stick blender for puréeing the cannellini beans—easier cleanup than a blender. And a question: would it alter the taste of the soup if I drained the black beans? I didn’t like how it changed the color of the soup! Thank you for the recipe! I have seven 2-cup containers of soup in my freezer!

Blend the beans! I realized that was the thick mix so I didn’t have to use starch, the corn is a natural sweetener. Best tortilla soup ever

    This was delicious and very much tasted like the CFA tortilla soup. I did choose to omit one can of cannelini beans (the ones that were not pureed) and a can of regular corn – this was just personal preference. I froze the extra soup flat in freezer bags and it warmed well at work for a quick lunch.

    Look I am so sorry. I don’t know if I did something wrong but this was inedible. It ended up with the texture of creamed corn, the flavor was completely off and I feel like I wasted so much food to make it. It must just be me because all of the other comments are positive. I’m glad others have enjoyed it though.
