We know the holidays are the best time of year for home-cooked foods when favorite recipes like scalloped potatoes, green bean casserole, and creamy corn pudding take the spotlight. But we also realized that this is the best time of year to discover fast food.
Every week, there’s news of limited-time favorites arriving or returning to drive-thru menus. From Arby’s Thanksgiving-themed sandwiches to Five Guys’ first festive shake and Hardee’s signature holiday candy, the holiday lineup is getting more and more impressive. It has become a tradition in itself for fast food fans to watch for the return of beloved seasonal items. Today, Chick-fil-A is adding even more excitement by bringing back a favorite dish that loyal customers crave.
Chick-fil-A Chicken Tortilla Soup is back for the holidays
Chick-fil-A is welcoming the winter weather with open arms by reintroducing its best comfort dish — chicken tortilla soup.
The delicious seasonal offering features shredded chicken breast, navy beans and black beans in a rich, creamy base with a blend of vegetables and spices, topped with crispy tortilla strips for extra crunch.
Chick-fil-A customers know that although the restaurant is best known for its chicken sandwiches and fries, it’s the seasonal items like the chicken tortilla soup that really highlight the brand’s diversity. The soup’s creamy texture and blend of flavors makes it an ultimate comfort food on a cold day — but that doesn’t stop fans from wishing it was available on the menu year-round, even claiming it’s better than chicken noodles.
“Tortilla soup should be a permanent item,” one fan declared on Reddit.
