Excellent tortilla soup and very quick and easy to make. Used shredded chicken from a beer can chicken we made the night before. We had about 12oz of chicken left over so we used a bit more broth (3 14oz cans) and added a bit more chili powder and cumin. Also used a can of Rotel rather than salsa. Cut tortilla strips and sprayed w/ cooking spray and baked...still came out crispy w/out the fat and hassle of frying. Great recipe and takes absolutely no time to make.

I am a firefighter and this recipe was extremely easy and everyone loved it. I cook for 9 people every shift and am always looking for meals that don't take much tim. I will definitely make this in the future. I used roasted red pepper salsa and green chilis to give it a bit of spice. Great recipe.

I also added a little can of green chilis...used an entire small jar of mild salsa, left out the oregano and cilantro cuz didn't have any and used 4 cups chicken broth and added a T. of red chili flakes - and it was still fantastic!!! Thanks!

The only thing I did differently was add a little can of mild green chiles to simmer--and it's fantastic! Thanks so much!

This was excellent! I substituted cayenne pepper for cumin (gave it a nice kick) and added 1/2 tsp. garlic. I used frozen corn and tortilla chips, like some other reviewers suggested. I also added a can of rotel. The only problem with this soup is that there wasn't enough!

This recipe is really good, just like in restaurants. My kids were apprehensive about the black beans and bell pepper from the salsa, but my husband and I loved it.

I used this as a guideline, and added some cayenne. I used a whole jar of salsa, and it was great! My picky-eater boyfriend loved it, but wanted me to put more chicken in next time. He even ate some of the "veggies" without making a face!

This was yummy,but I did change things up a bit. I used a rotissere chicken (already cooked) and tortilla chips as well as chicken stock instead of broth. (richer flavor) I doubled (at least) the spices and added fresh chopped tomato and chile peppers. Then I topped the soup with pepper jack cheese..It's really tastier the next day. I will make this again...super easy!

This was very tasty but I made some modifications including using an entire small jar of salsa, an additional cup of chicken broth, adding more spices (1 extra tbsp. each of cumin, chili powder and oregano), about a tsp. of chili seasoning and sauteed onion. I also used bagged tortilla chips. We loved it and I will make it like this again.

I thought this was a great recipe. My husband thought he liked our other tortilla soup recipe better. I think he was looking for more broth and the other is thickened a bit more with tortillas. I think I could adapt this recipe but I liked the hardiness as is.

This soup was really good. No leftovers! The amount of spices were good, I added a bit more though (my own preference though). Instead of using raw chicken, I used a pre-cooked rotissere chicken from the market. It worked great and it didn't have to cook that long, just until hot. Will make again. My own recommendation would be to taste the broth to make sure the spices are right, you might not want it tasting too much like plain chicken broth.

This was a good soup. I used low sodium broth and no salt added corn, and it turned out well. I'm sure it would have had a little better taste with the sodium, but what doesn't lol. Anyway, all the spices in the recipe make it so you don't need all that salt, so I recommend the low sodium stuff. It was a hit with my family! Even my 3yo took a few bites and said it was good-but I think after he tasted the spiciness he wasn't as much of a fan lol. Oh but I didn't use as much cilantro as it said, I used maybe 1/4 as much and it tasted great to me, I fear if I put all of it in it would have had way too much cilantro taste, but if you like cilantro then go for it!

I've always been afraid to try tortilla soups because I thought the tortillas would just be a soggy wet mess. I was wrong! This was delicious! I added a few tablespoons of lime juice, but fresh lemon juice would probably be excellent as well. I garnished with a teaspoon of sourcream on top of the crispy tortilla strips. So good and unbelievably easy.

This was a great soup for being sick - like others I thought that it needed a little bit more oompf - so I added a diced onion, some garlic and green pepper + a bit more chili powder to really kick up the spice factor. I will definitely make this again.
