Note
**Storage:** Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best texture, add fresh tortilla chips and cheese when reheating to maintain crunch.
**Substitutions:** You can use rotisserie chicken instead of turkey. For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth and omit the meat.
**Variations:** Add a can of black beans or corn for extra fiber and texture. A squeeze of lime juice before serving adds a bright, fresh finish.
**Tip:** If you prefer a thicker soup, let it simmer longer with the lid off to reduce the broth.
