Use fresh jalapeno peppers for the best flavor in this recipe. Canned pickled jalapeno peppers will alter the flavor of the soup.If you don't have jalapeno peppers, add ¼ teaspoon of cayenne pepper (more or less to taste).Corn. Fresh, frozen or canned corn will work in this recipe. Look for corn that doesn't have butter or flavors added to it.Black Beans can be substituted with pinto, kidney beans, or a combination of beans. I like to use canned and drained beans in this recipe to make it easy. Dried beans can also be used to make this soup but they must be cooked before adding them to the soup.Fresh Cilantro - Not a lover of cilantro? You can leave it out but will change the flavor of the soup.A hearty bowl of chicken tortilla soup is perfect for a quick and healthy dinner.&nbsp;We like to serve it with a side salad like this loaded chopped salad or spinach salad.Don't forget the toppings!

For a low-carb version of this soup, omit the corn and beans or use half of the amount.Yes! You can. Here's how to make stove top soup:Place the chicken into a large saucepan and add water.
