This was wonderful. I did add some canned corn. And only used 2 jalapenos.

This was a very tasty recipe that is easily thrown together in a matter of minutes. The reasons this is not a five start recipe are that it needs more avocado and spices. I used 2 avocados and threw in 1/4 tsp of cumin and chili powder plus a little less than 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. I like my food spicy, but in my opinion those are the spices that need to be used in this soup. Also, I used blue corn tortilla chips instead of baking tortillas, 2 roma tomatoes and only 3 jalapenos (not to sound like an organic foods snob but the difference in heat between conventional and organic is astronomical). I will make this again at some point I'm sure, the only thing I will do differently next time is puree the avocados in a food processor to thicken up the soup and add one more avocado.

This is a great healthy soup! I made exactly as written except used extra lime (which probably wasn't a good idea), extra avocado (which WAS a good idea), and store-bought corn tortilla chips to save on time. Turned out great, definitely on the spicy side tho so if you're sensitive to spice cut back on the jalepinos. Will definitely make again! Lots of flavor without using a ton of seasoning.

This was an interesting soup. Kind of weird compared to what we usually eat I guess? I don't know if I'll make it again.

Good base! Substituted can of green chiles for the jalopenos, doubled the cilantro, added thinly sliced mushrooms, and shredded cabbage and carrots for a flavorful and filling meal. Will definitely make again!

Delicious!!!!!! I used two jalapenos and I think that was the right call. Everything else was used as called for in the recipe. I got the urge to top it with sour cream though it made it even better. Nice and warm/spicy broth with chunks of fresh veggies...how could you go wrong?!

I found this to be very good. The lime gives this a bright, fresh flavor. I do agree that this is better with a bit more avocado. If you like the flavor of jalapeños but not the heat, try seeding them. I will be making this again!
