One of my favorite recipes. I reduced cumin as it was a little bit much. Thanks for the great soup!

The best mexican soup I have ever had!!! This recipe makes a lot. For us it made probably at least 12 servings--it would be 8 very large servings. It was excellent and it freezed well--I still have some in our freezer. Thanks!

Fabulous! I was looking for a copy of soup I had tried in a restaurant and this was about as close as I could ask for. I made it exactly, except used low-fat 1/2 & 1/2 and couldn't tell a difference. I noticed some people complained about the amount of corn so at first I only added a 1/2 can but couldn't notice it so I added the rest and it was delicious. Not overloaded with corn at all like I was expecting. Can't wait to try the leftovers today since soup usually tastes better the second day. Oh yeah, also, I used store-bought salsa instead of homemade and it was very good. The store brand I use has a heavy tomato base.

This soup was good. It's really creamy. I used store-bought salsa and I'm afraid it was a little too spicy for my 3 yr. old. It would have been better with my husband's homemade salsa. We'll have to try that next time.

Very easy, and very tasty. My husband is very picky about tortilla soup and he loved this. I fried my thinly sliced corn torillas in veggie oil instead of using store bought chips.

This soup was very good. I sprinkled a little fajita seasoning on the chicken before I cooked it. I think the fajita seasoning I used already had cumin in it, so next time I will leave out the extra cumin. The cumin taste was a little too strong for me.

I've made this several times for dinners with friends and it's a hit every time. The consistency can be a bit thin so it's a good idea to have cornstarch on hand just in case.

I've been making this soup for awhile now and it is by far our FAVORITE soup! I do use Rotel instead of salsa and regular corn instead of creamed. I put the cheese right into the big pot which makes it thicker right away and sometimes I even thicken it with a little cornstarch. It was exactly what I was looking for after I had eaten a similar version in a favorite restaurant. Thanks!

This soup is great! I've made it several times and everyone I've served it to says it's great too. Like others, I add a can of black beans too -gives me a couple more servings per recipe.

Our family loves this soup. It is a great creamy type of tortilla soup. I use a little more salsa than is called for, and sometimes add some extra canned tomatoes as well. Otherwise I make it as listed and it works great. I have made the soup to take to an event before, and in that case I just added the cheese directly to the soup and melted it, rather than put it on each bowl and it worked great too.

I have made this soup a number of times now, and it gets better each time I do! I do add jalapenos, more cumin, and most of the time less half and half. It's a fantastic recipe, and I have shared it more times than I can remember. People looking for a traditional tortilla soup with a tomato base should avoid this recipe. As for a filling, soul warming soup on a cold winter evening, this can't be beat! Thank you so much for a recipe that I have used many times, and will continue to use for many years to come!

I doubled the recipe and believe me it made a lot of soup. It was very good. I used half 2% milk and 1/2 of the 1/2 and 1/2. It came out perfect. I did scorch the milk on the bottom of the pan a little so be careful not to bring it to a boil too fast. We enjoyed this soup for days! Pefect for cooler weather. I think if I had used all 1/2 and 1/2 it would have been too thick for my liking especially after adding the cheese to each bowl. Yummy...thanks for sharing this recipe :-)

Excellent. My whole family found something that we all love equally.(Which is rare, as my kids and husband are very picky.) I did as suggested by adding half milk and half half and half. I also used stock from the chicken that I cooked for it. About 4 cups to thin it. And 3 cups of home cooked black beans. I also just used the tortillas and cheese as a topping.And just half a large jar of salsa since I don't have any fresh made. And we still have plenty left over. My 11 year old son said it is now his favorite food. And he never likes vegetables. Thank you so much. Meal times will be so much better now.(At least when I make this.) :)
