Now I have loved this recipe for years, but I switched it up a bit this year to use one of my new favorite kitchen staples – Better Than Bouillon.
Better Than Bouillon is a paste concentrate that is equivalent to a bouillon cube or broth that lets you really turn up the flavor of all of your favorite dishes.
Unlike broth that goes bad quickly or bouillon cubes that can be gritty if they do not dissolve properly, Better Than Bouillon lets you add just the right amount of flavor easily.

Better Than Bouillon comes in a variety of flavors, so I have started using it in all of my favorite dishes. You can choose from:
- Premium Flavors: Chicken, Beef, Vegetable, Roasted Garlic, Chili, Clam, Fish, Ham, Lobster, Mushroom and Turkey
- Organic: Roasted Chicken, Mushroom, Turkey, Beef and Vegetable
- Vegetarian: Vegetable, Roasted Garlic, Organic Vegetable, Vegetarian No Beef Base, Vegetarian No Chicken Base
- Reduced Sodium: Reduced Sodium Beef, Reduced Sodium Chicken, Reduced Sodium Vegetable
You can make this recipe into a Low Carb Chicken Tortilla Soup by subbing the corn tortillas for a lower carb tortilla made out of wheat.
I do however suggest you bake the low carb tortillas a bit before adding them into the soup. For some reason that seems to give them a little more flavor. Just a few minutes at 350* in a single layer does the trick!
You can use the Product Locator on the Better Than Bouillon site to find which stores near you carry each flavor. You can also shop online and have your favorites delivered right to your door. It's hard to beat that.

I’d love b try the chicken flavor first.
Bonita Courtney says
I have used “Better Than Bouillon” before and it is definitely better than the little cubes in foil or even chicken broth because it adds more flavor. However I have only used the Chicken Base so I’ll keep an eye out for the other flavors as well, excited to check those out! Thanks for the Tortilla Soup Recipe, I’ll be making that this week for a easy week night dinner!
