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 :-)

All the people that said how gross this soup was are totally NUTS! This soup is a hit with everyone who eats it! You really can put any vegetable or meat into this! Try it with ground beef!

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.) :)

Great recipe. I used what I had on hand. Canned chicken, 2% milk. I just added a bit more flour in the beginning to thicken the soup. Served over crushed tortillia chips with grated cheese and a dolop of sour cream! Yum

This soup was great! I doubled it, and used the meat from 2 whole chickens instead, and made my own broth. Adding tabasco gives it a good kick. Next time I think I'll saute some red peppers with the onions. If there are leftovers (if...) reduce the sauce, add some more chicken, and use as filling for enchiladas. add sauce and cheese on top. these were the best enchiladas i've ever tasted!!
