Can you substitute ranch-flavored chips for broken taco shells in soup?

Ranch-flavored chips can be used as a substitute for broken taco shells to add a crunchy texture to soup. Other flavors of chips that may complement the dish are taco, lime, salsa, chipotle, jalapeño or nacho cheese.

Taco shells are traditionally made with flour or corn tortillas, so something to consider when looking for a substitute is whether to go with another style of tortilla chip or to choose a chip made of potato, rice, lentil, quinoa or black bean. Other ideas for a crunchy substitute in soup are crackers, fried tortilla strips, sunflower seeds, bean shoots or a type of nut.
