This recipe is awesome. I added some shredded cheddar cheese and I used a chipolte salsa that added a nice smokey flavor to the soup.

Really, really,really, really good! Really easy to make, and flavor is superb! I didn't change much except only used two cups of half and half and scaled it down to 2/3 but added the whole fajita packet and added a can of diced jalapenos for extra kick and extra garlic. Served with jalapeno cheese focaccia bread and put a dollop of sour cream on each bowl along with the other called for condiments before serving. Thanks!

Outstanding recipe! I doubled the portions and it made a huge pot with plenty of tasty leftovers. Only changes I made were to add a couple of cans of diced green chilies, additional cilantro and a cup of cheese while it was cooking. You can't beat the creamy taste and complex flavor. It was delicious down to the bottom of the bowl. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to impress~

This was a awesome recipe! A couple changes I made was I boiled a whole chicken to get the chicken meat and chicken broth and instead of salsa I used a fresh made pico de gallo. Me and my wife loved the soup and gave it 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone! Thanks for the recipe.

This is THE BEST! I have made it twice and each time to rave reviews. I did make a few changes to save time - I used 1 cup frozen chopped onions, 1 1/2 tsp. prepared minced garlic, 1 pkg. pre-cooked fajita chicken strips, 1 1/2 tsp. cumin. I used frozen cream corn (the whole package of 1 lb. 4 oz) and I added the 8 oz. of cheese to the soup. I did not have cilantro so I omitted it. Note: Do not put lid on pot while simmering or cooling.

Great recipe! LOVED IT! May I suggest - using olive oil instead of the margarine to saute the onion and garlic (better kind of fat) also, I substituted 1 percent milk for half of the half and half. Next time I may just try regular 1 percent milk. Instead of the fajita seasoning packet I used my own mix of chipolte seasoning mix which contains chipolte's cumin, and other spices. IT Was fantastic. I also used baked tostitos for the chips.

Made this soup about a month ago for dinner guests. I'm still getting calls for the recipe. I did make a few changes. I boiled a hen and deboned and chopped the meat to add to the soup. I used 6 cups of broth from that instead of the 3 cans of broth. I cut the amount of half & half to 2 cups. Added a can of whole corn along with the creamed corn and mixed the cheese up in the pot of soup. This makes a huge pot of soup and is delicious! Next time I will use less cilantro in the soup itself. It has a very strong taste and not one of my favorite spices.

This was an excellent soup. The flavor is wonderful and I love having the tortilla chips with cheese both on the top and on the bottom. In addition, the smell is great! If you enjoy Mexican food, then this soup is for you.

I make this one a lot, it has become a family favorite. Very rich and creamy. Not for the calorie watchers :( Then again, most foods worth eating, aren't. :)

I really enjoyed this recipe. It is a rich, creamy soup. I fried fresh corn tortillas for chips and made sure I added cilantro to each bowl of soup. My husband and daughter thought it was ok, but were not jumping up and down. I froze the rest and will see if it really does freeze well, later. THANKS FOR THE RECIPE!

This was very easy to make and had a great taste. I boiled and shreaded the chicken. I also added frozen corn instead of creamed corn, and a can of diced tomatoes. Everyone wanted a copy of this recipe.

This soup is not at all what I expect with a Tortilla Soup. It's much more like a corn chowder. I didn't care for it at all. Sorry.

This recipe tastes excellent and is easy. My husband and I made this soup today. It is the perfect compliment to autumn in the Mid-West. I spiced it up a bit by adding 1 cup of pepper jack cheese and hot salsa to the soup while cooking. We will definately make this again soon.
