Hello Karen, The instructions for making the soup are: Remove tortilla chips from jar and set aside. Pour remaining jar contents into a large pot. Add 10 cups of water and one 10-13 oz can of chicken and a can of diced tomatoes and green chilies. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is tender. Add tortilla chips, and cover and simmer for five more minutes. Tortilla chips can also be added on top of soup. Make 12 Cups.
tomatoes are mentioned ….”Place the pre-measured items in a jar and the recipient only needs to add water, tomatoes, and chicken. You can even wrap up the can of chicken to make sure they have everything they need.”
Question is: are tomatoes and ingredient needed for this tortilla soup recipe?
Yes, Jessica, you read that right. It is like adding a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors if you were making it from scratch… and a pinch of sugar always adds a bit of flavor.
Powdered lemonade??
I would think as long as the expiration of the ingredients you used. The tortilla chips over weeks might not be as crisp, but they get added to the soup. If I wanted to make these ahead of time I would put together up to the chips and add them in a few days before giving. Hope that helps.
Hi! How long can this be stored for?
