Very good. I think it needed more to the actual soup, so I added corn. To lighten the soup, I didn't fry the tortillas, but baked them and served it with the soup at the end. This was perfectly spiced and really satisfied our craving for tortilla soup without going to Cracker Barrel or Rockne's. Thanks so much!

This was excellent. Whenever I buy a roasted chicken at the grocery store, I make this recipe for dinner the day after. I take the remaining leftover chicken, follow the recipe, add in some extras like a can of red beans and corn, and also throw in some mozzerella right before serving. I use regular tortilla chips dropped in right before we eat it and also add sliced avocado. The whole family loves it.

This recipe is great. The people that I typically cook for don't enjoy such spicy dishes, however, so I cut the spices down quite a bit. It still has quite a bite with half the chili powder and cayenne.

Excellent. My husband, the very picky eater, is not fond of soups but absolutely loved it. I added the corn and also cooked plain corn tortillas in the soup, which gave it more of a corn taste. I also added the tortilla chips after serving. PERFECT!

This is the best tortilla soup I have found. Easy to make. The only change I made was adding rinsed can of pinto beans and a small can of corn.

Great recipe! My picky family loves it. They go back until it's all gone. I agree with the other comments about adding the tortillas near the end and adding corn and black beans to make it really hearty.

My husband, who is Mexican-American, said this soup was delicious. He also said it's very much like the soup his mother makes. Wonderful! Thank you!

I really had high hopes for this recipe after reading the reviews, but I was not that impressed. Although the flavor is pretty good and the aroma through the house was incredible, it ended up looking like mush. The texture was soggy not hearty due to the tortillas. I will try to make this again, but next time I will add totilla chips last.

Loved this. I need to make a whole recipe next time so I can have some leftovers. I fried the corn tortillas & added just before serving. May try adding the corn & chili peppers as suggested also. I didn't use the salt because we don't use much salt.

This is a very good soup entree and a nice change from the ordinary. I used only 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and blue tortilla chips both in the soup and as a garnish. I also added a box of frozen corn and used tomatoes with green chiles. The chips in the soup thicken the soup nicely and gives it a nice what I would think an authentic flavor. I would definitely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe was ok. I added 1 can of unsalted corn to the soup....it the soup came out great! The only problem was when I tried to freeze and reheat the soup a few days later...the consistency was not the same...and it was not exactly "soup" at that point.... This recipe made so much soup, and with freezing and reheating not being an option, I will make this again but only for a large party (no leftovers).

This was the perfect chicken tortilla recipe! While it was cooking, I thought the cumin smelled too overpowering, but it tasted just fine. An extra kick, but not too bad. I didn't cook the corn tortillas into the soup, though. Instead, I fried my own strips out of corn tortillas (sprinkle them with some salt!) and you can drizzle them on top of your bowl of soup. It's a perfect combination. I just didn't want soggy tortillas in mine...

Very good base for a torilla soup! You must let the tortillas cook all the way down so that they become part of the broth. you should not even be able to see them. i added another can of tomatoes, more lime juice, pablano pepper, a jalepeno pepper, and more cumin to give it a kick. serve with melted cheese on top!

This was a fantastic recipe!! Lots of taste, perfect seasonings. I added corn to the recipe and added the corn tortillas on top of the soup when I served for dinner. I received compliments even from those who admitted they did not like tortilla soup!!
