How to make it

  1. Build the Flavor Base. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add minced garlic and all spices. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  2. Add Tomatoes, Beans & Corn. Pour in fire-roasted tomatoes and stir to combine. Add black beans and corn. Stir and let everything cook together for 2–3 minutes to deepen flavor.
  3. Prepare the Protein Broth (Key Step). In a separate measuring cup: Add 2 cups bone broth. While frothing, slowly sprinkle in 1 scoop FORALL protein. Froth until completely smooth. Pour into the pot. Repeat this process with the remaining: 2 cups broth. 1 scoop protein. Pour into the pot and stir to combine.
  4. Add Chicken & Simmer. Add shredded chicken and stir. Bring soup to a gentle simmer (not a boil), then reduce heat to low–medium. Let simmer uncovered for 10–15 minutes, allowing flavors to fully come together.
  5. Finish & Serve. Taste and adjust salt or spices as needed. Ladle into bowls and top with your favorite toppings like: crushed tortilla chips, shredded cheese, avocado, lime wedges, cilantro, and/or jalapeno.

Tips for Best Results

  • Always mix protein into broth first → prevents clumping
  • Add protein slowly while frothing for smooth texture
  • Keep heat at a gentle simmer, not a boil after adding protein
  • Use bone broth for extra depth and nutrition
  • Fresh lime at the end brightens everything

Why This Recipe Works

  • FORALL flavorless protein blends seamlessly into broth
  • Frothing method keeps texture smooth and cohesive
  • Balanced spices create a rich, layered flavor
  • High protein content makes it more filling and satisfying

A Hearty, Flavor-Packed Meal with a Seamless Protein Boost

Some meals are comforting.

Some meals are functional.

And every once in a while, you get both in the same bowl.

This high-protein chicken tortilla soup is exactly that — rich, flavorful, and deeply satisfying, with a subtle protein boost from FORALL flavorless protein that blends in seamlessly.

Turning a Classic Into a Complete Meal

Traditional chicken tortilla soup already has a lot going for it:

  • bold spices
  • hearty ingredients
  • layered flavor

But it’s often missing one thing — enough protein to truly keep you full.

By incorporating FORALL flavorless protein, this version transforms into something more balanced:

  • over 40 grams of protein per serving
  • still rich and comforting
  • no change in taste or texture

It’s the same soup — just more functional.

The Challenge with Protein in Hot Meals

Adding protein to hot recipes can be tricky. Common issues: clumping, grainy texture, separation in liquids. That’s why the method matters just as much as the ingredients.

The Key Step: Blend Protein Into Broth First

Instead of adding protein directly into the pot, this recipe uses a simple technique:

  • whisk or froth protein into warm broth
  • add it gradually
  • then incorporate into the soup

This allows the protein to: dissolve smoothly, integrate into the broth, maintain a cohesive texture. The result is a soup that feels exactly like it should — not altered.

Why Flavorless Protein Matters

This recipe works because the protein stays invisible. Most protein powders add sweetness, alter flavor, or change texture. FORALL flavorless protein doesn’t. Because it contains only what’s necessary, it: blends into savory recipes, doesn’t compete with spices, keeps the integrity of the dish intact.

Built on Real Ingredients

The base of this soup is simple but intentional:

  • chicken + bone broth for depth and protein
  • beans and corn for texture and balance
  • fire-roasted tomatoes for richness
  • spices for warmth and complexity

Everything works together to create a soup that feels layered and complete.

The Toppings Make It Yours

One of the best parts of tortilla soup is how customizable it is.

You can keep it simple or build it out:

  • avocado for creaminess
  • tortilla chips for crunch
  • cheese for richness
  • lime for brightness
  • cilantro for freshness
  • jalapeno for spice

Each bowl can feel slightly different, depending on what you’re in the mood for.

Perfect for Meal Prep

This soup holds up extremely well:

  • flavors deepen over time
  • reheats easily
  • stores well for several days

It’s the kind of recipe you can make once and rely on throughout the week.

A More Practical Way to Add Protein

Not every protein source needs to be obvious.

Sometimes the best approach is:

  • taking a meal you already love
  • and making it more balanced

By using FORALL flavorless protein, you’re able to:

  • increase protein intake
  • maintain real food ingredients
  • and keep the experience enjoyable

Final Thoughts

A good soup should feel comforting, taste rich, and actually satisfy you. This one just happens to do a little more. It’s warm, filling, and built with intention — without overcomplicating anything.
