How To Serve?
Homemade Red Robin Tortilla Soup can taste and look better. Sour cream, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro enhance soup flavor. Diced avocado, tomatoes, or jalapenos add heat.
Flour tortilla strips cooked in oil provide crispness to soup. Cilantro, lime wedges, avocado slices, and chili powder improve soup appearance. A salad, grilled cheese, or tortilla complements the soup. Finally, garnish and serve the soup. This improves the soup.
Flavor Soup Variations
Red Robin Tortilla Soup can be made in many ways to suit your tastes. Increase the chili powder, cayenne pepper, or jalapeno peppers to make the soup spicier.
Another variant is to make the soup vegetarian by substituting the chicken stock with vegetable broth and the chicken with extra legumes like chickpeas or lentils. You can make the soup creamy by adding heavy cream or sour cream before serving.
To make it more Mexican, add chopped tomatoes, avocado, jalapeño, and sour cream. To make it Tex-Mex, add cumin, paprika, and oregano. Replace the flour tortillas with low-carb ones or leave them out to make them low-carb.
