I knew 2 things just from reading the recipe-- too much fat and not spicy enough for us, we love things kickin. This soup was so good with just a few mods for those who like things spicy and not quite so heavy. 1- Use 2% milk 2- Sautee onions and garlic in 1/2 TBPS olive oil instead of butter 3- Whisk in 1 TBSP flour to milk and broth before adding soup 4- INSTEAD of SALSA add 1/2 can HOT enchilada sauce 5- Add one diced jalapeno with the seeds and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes for extra kick. I don't know what is normally in fajita mix- I make my own and it's what I used for this 2 TBSP chili powder 1 TBSP cumin 1 tsp oregano 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp garlic powder This was sooo good. I think we will serve it for a football game this fall instead of chili!

We have been making this recipe for a few years now and we LOVE it. We use fat free half/half and you can not tell the difference (it was an accident the first time!) I just had to comment that this soup does not come out purple like my computer is showing the picture to be lol!

if you are looking for a low fat food..move on, if you are looking for a crowd pleaser listen up! I have been cooking this soup for years. The only difference is I either use a leftover carcass and boil the meat off the bones or a rotisserie chicken and pull the meat off and put in a plastic bag with the fajita seasoning...Start everything on the stove as stated, also add extra cumin, salsa and cilatro and have an EXTRA fajita seasoning packet in case the chicken sucks it all up in the beginning. Once you have all the ingridients in throw it in the crock for a couple hours on high or 4 hours on low...FANTASTIC!! Never forget the cheese and chips at the end! PS, don't let this one boil EVER! you will lose the flavor!

My friend gave me this recipe at work today, and said how good it was. My whole family loved it, and I used up my leftover turkey. Perfect! I was afraid to try it at first because the picture makes the soup look grey...the boys won't eat things that don't 'look right,' however mine came out more like the second photo posted, creamy, and cheesey in color. Thanks!

This does taste similar to McAlister's Chicken Tortilla Soup. It seems like it's asking for a little too much liquid though...maybe 1.5 or 2 cups less of broth/half-and-half would be better? I used hot salsa, and it gave it the right kick. I didn't even add cheese, and it came out pretty darn good. Will make again for chilly nights.

This recipe rocks! There is nothing bland about this soup and we eat it by the truckloads in our house and every time I've served it for guests they are clamoring for the recipe! I say, Make it and You Be the Judge! ;)

Awesome. Can play around with it to make it healthier - you don't really need the cream of chic soup. Use flour to thicken the soup instead if you need to.

Hmmm... I have mixed feelings about this recipe. On the one hand, I did enjoy the finished product, but I did make changes and will make more. Normally, that doesn't cause me to give a lower rating to a recipe, but without these changes, this soup was bland and not very appetizing to me. Next time I make it (and there will probably be a next time), I will substitute sour cream for some of the half and half. I will definitely cut back on the cumin and add a couple of chopped jalapenos to the onion and garlic. I'll add hot sauce, more garlic, a splash of lime juice. When I made this recipe exactly as stated, the finished product was a little sweet and bland for my taste. With the addition of more spices, hot sauce, and some lemon juice it was much better. I'll also replace the fajita seasoning with taco or enchilada seasoning -- the fajita seasoning gave it an odd sweet and smoky flavor. Some people would really love this the way it is, some wouldn't. All in all, I think it's a good recipe that can be reworked to suit anyone's individual taste.

Great soup! Very easy to make! I used a rotisserie chicken, thanks to some of the other reviews. I also cut the recipe in 1/2. Turned out great but a little on the salty side. Next time I will use the reduced sodium versions of the chicken broth and cream of chicken soup. instead.

This is why I love this site- I can touch up a recipe based on others' comments! I followed the recipe pretty close, but I shredded a premade rotisserie chicken, used 2 cups half n half and 2 cups milk, and added 1/2 cup frozen corn. It was great, no problem with seasoning, plenty hearty and made a full pot- way more than 8 servings!

Probably the best soup recipe I have - and on heavy rotation at my house! I sub my own taco seasoning for the fajita seasoning and use 2 cups half and half, 2 cups milk. Every time I've made it, I get raves and requests for the recipe.

This soup was good but difficult to rate. The base recipe was great, but I found that there was no need for the roux which would have just added more fat and calories to an otherwise healthy meal. I used fat free half and half but only a cup as any more would have turned my soup white. The amount I used added just the right amount of creaminess and the extra vegies I added left the soup thick and hearty. My family enjoyed this Julie and thanks!

This was very flavorful and yummy! I used 2C. half & half and 2C. skim milk and it was still very creamy. Like other reveiwers I also put some of the cheese directly in the soup. Next time I may add black beans.
