Excellent! It was declared "one of the best soups ever" by my partner. I modified a bit and used vege broth instead of chicken broth (we don't eat meat) and added some fresh basil at the end! A total keeper! The second time I made this I omitted the tortellini and added shrimp (we do eat seafood)-- also a total hit! Thanks, Katie!!

Just finished making these and a majority of the cookies mysteriously "vanished" from the plate...sign of a good cookie recipe! My only suggestion would be what everyone else has said: add MORE spice to the mix (pumpkin pie spice would work nicely as would some clove). I'm off to secure a few cookies for myself...

Most excellent! I must admit the first time I made this I nixed the "southwest flavors" (cilantro, chile powder, etc.) as I was after a more classic cioppino -- turned out great! I was truly impressed! Second time I completely followed the recipe -- and it was brilliant! If the fish weren't so bloody expensive I'd make it more often...*grumbles*...

Uh muh gawd! I made this salad for an ill-fated Christmas dinner (My FIRST Christmas dinner..and, yeah, I tried to get too fancy-shmancy using recipes unfamiliar to me [the main course was cooked in a PUMPKIN! Need I say more?]) And this lovely salad was the saving grace! Everyone raved about it...as a matter of fact, it was the ONLY thing they raved about...Thank you, Jaime, for saving my butt!

Quite easy and very tasty! Two key factors: get GOOD QUALITY salsa and corn chips and be sure not to overcook the fish. Garnish with some cilantro and diced green onion and dig in! Yummy!

Absolutely delicious (and simple too!) I used 2 cups of vege broth (instead of all water), added a bit of cilantro and yellow squash, but otherwise kept to the recipe. Served it up with some grated cheddar, a wedge of lime and warm tortillas. Big, big hit! (Note: if you want to spice it up a bit more, add another serrano)
