  • Cook an additional 30-minutes - 1 hour, stirring occasionally until the cheese is fully melted and combined and the soup is thickened slightly.
  • You can add the tortilla chips directly to the soup along with the cheese and cream and cook for the final 30-60 minutes or crisp the corn tortillas in the air fryer or oven. To crisp the tortilla chips in the air fryer, spray liberally with non-stick cooking spray and bake at 400° for approximately 5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
