Love this recipe; have made it several times with rave reviews every time. I serve with tortilla chips and end up eating almost more like a dip than a soup! I use masa flour; not sure if that's the same as masa harina.

This was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly as written. The only thing that I would do differently next time is that I would boil the chicken instead of sauteeing it, either that or I'd pound the chicken out evenly...mine didn't get evenly done and it made it tough to shred. Also, make sure and put it away immediately after serving or you'll get a nasty film on the top! This was a very hardy soup and it had the taste of enchiladas without the fat and calories (I used lowfat Velveeta and no oil). I will definitely make this again.

LOVE this soup. Only one addition... I had to throw in sliced up corn tortillas, and sometimes, when I want it extra spicy, I throw in a can of Rotel tomatoes.

Not spellbounding. It was good, and we happily ate it, but I expeceted something a little better for the rating it had. Mild and bland in some regards and very thick as writ. Would probably change a few things.

Excellent recipe, i did make modifications to make it taste and look more like Chili's soup. Added: 1 tbs of chili powder, 1/4 teapoon of cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon of onion powder in place of whole onion xtra lb of chicken, used full 10oz can of enchilada sauce & 1/2 can of tomato paste (small can) and used 1/2 lb of light velvetta these changes it made it taste just like if not better than chili's version with much less fat/cal.

On my 2nd batch I left out the masa harina...tooo grainy for me. Though, my entire family loves this soup. I too added black beans and frozen corn. Thanks for the starter, this is something I will make twice a month!

Good soup for a cold winter's night. I had to substitute with corn chips and chicken boullion cubes. It's a keeper in the Soup Department.

I made this and it turned out awesome!!! I used 1lb. of pepper jack cheese by velveeta and it gave it the kick I was looking for. I also added 1 can of black beans, 1 can of corn to make it more of a meal opposed to soup. I'll be making this for my boyfriend and friends for their hunting trip next week. Great recipe....Thanks

Yummy. I think it is close to Chili's C. E. soup. I heated a tbsp olive oil and added 2 cloves of garlic and then added 3 small chicken breasts. I cooked the breasts in a pot on both sides until juices were clear. Then I removed the chicken and added the diced onions and cooked until translucent. I poured in 2 (14.5 oz each)cans of chicken broth and stirred. I mixed 1/4 cup of masa harina which is corn flour (Quaker company makes this also found on the aisle where the Latino food products are or near the regular white flour)with a 1/2 cup of water, stir it well to get out lumps and then I added it to the pot that has the chicken broth and onions. Then I mix another 1/4 cup of masa harina with just enough water to make it like a thick, wet paste, stir it until blended, it should not look dry or crumbly, but smooth and sort of thick. I added this mixture to the pot and stirred. Then I added 1 cup water, I made up a package of mc cormick enchilada sauce and added all of it to the pot (approx. 3 cups or more), 16 oz of velveeta cheese, salt, chili powder & cumin. Stirred. Brought to a boil, stirring often so the cheese did not stick as much and also used a non-stick pot. Added diced cooked chicken. Stirred. Reduce heat and I simmer until thick about 5 minutes. This gives the soup a thick/thin top texture, not as grainy from the masa harina. I topped it with pico de gallo and crushed tortilla chips (Tia Rosa Mega thins) and a little shredded cheese. Excellente!!

This was awesom! I will defiantly make this again. I was not sure what kind of cheese to use so I used Velveta. My husband did not think that it sounded very good but when he tasted it he really liked it! This would also make a great dip if you shredded the chicken or shopped it really fine.

This was outstanding! I took up some suggestions of previous reviews and added a can of petite diced tomatoes with jalapenos in place of the last cup of water as well as used a little more than 1/2 cup masa harina. I also added a can of corn and a small can of hot diced jalepenos for some kick (maybe a little too much kick - it was really spicy!). I used light velveeta as well, and no would would have been the wiser (other than a slight skin that formed on top while cooking which may happen with regular, too). It was a little more prep work than I usually like, but it turned out great! I think my boyfriend was pleasantly shocked at how yummy it was! Surprisingly great consistancy and flavor!

This review, from a 12-yr-old critic, sums up the family feeling: "I loved it. It was spicy, it was cheesy, it was awsome. It is now my favorite type of soup. I really love it." The only changes I made were to cut the masa harina to 1/2 cup and to leave out the salt.

This recipe is so delicious! I tweaked it by adding corn and Ro-tel tomatoes and substituting the chili powder for taco seasoning. I served this with corn bread and my family loved it. I liked it so much, my co-worker made it for her family and they loved it too.

This was really good and very easy. I increased the chicken as some suggested but it was too much. Next time, I'll use about 1 1/2 lbs of chicken. I may just use a roast chicken for the meat and cut out the extra step of cooking the chicken. Also I decreased the Maseca to about 3/4 of a cup. Perfect consistency. I fried small strips of corn tortillas to garnish and I used pepper jack cheese and rotel mexican style for garnish as well. Everyone loved it.

Love this soup! It's a regular at our house. I omit the chili powder but that's it. You do have to watch it carefully once you add the cheese. It can burn if you don't stir frequently. Great recipe!
