My family loved this recipe. We've tried other chicken tortilla soups that just didn't work -- this one was spot on! The only think I would add is black beans...

This is my go-to recipes for this type of soup, my family begs for me to make it. I saute the onions with the evoo, garlic, cumin, and cayenne. I poach the chicken and shred it, and saute it with the onions for a few minutes before adding the broth. It's fantastic, and never leaves any leftovers!

Delicious! I added 1 can of Rotel in place of the chunky salsa. Also added a little lime juice and fresh cilantro on top of each bowl. Perfect tortilla soup.

It was kind of bland. I added a little taco seasoning and some hot sauce. It was easy, but just OK.

Delicious soup! I followed the recipe as written, and really enjoyed it! Next time I think I'll add some black beans. Actually, I did make one change. I boiled and shredded the chicken to make life a little easier. This will become a regular in the rotation!

My sister made this for my baby shower and it was the first soup to disappear! I loved it! When I made it later at home for my husband, I did make a few changes based on what we had on hand: I used homemade salsa with nice huge chunks and shredded chicken. I added more chicken broth and some black beans (have used pinto, too) that were not from a can, since I knew my husband would need more in his soup. We've also added diced chilies and roasted sweet red bell pepper with great results. Very good soup as is, and versatile enough to be great with any changes you make.

This was so good that I made it again the next night. I did what a previous reviewer suggested & boiled the chicken first, let it cool & shredded it. One of my favorite recipes ever. Thanks Betty!

This soup is pretty good but I made some changes. I poached the chicken and shredded it. I also added some fresh cilantro while cooking and also on top as a garnish. I also added some taco seasoning and cooked in crock pot all day.

Really, really fantastic! My boyfriend wouldn't shut up about it. I had leftover chicken that had been marinated for another dish - didn't affect the flavor. I used only one can of chicken broth and 2 cups of a chicken flavored consomme powder. It has such a flavorful kick - it made me sweat while not being too spicy. So delicious!

This soup was excellent. I gave it 4 stars since I added black beans and a little rice as a previous reviewer suggested.

This soup was excellent. I made mine in the crockpot. I followed the entire recipe except I used lime rather than lemon juice. I increased the chili and cumin powder. I feel like it needs another vegetable (maybe chopped tomatos) or beans- onions were not enough and my salsa melted down with the cooking. Very very good!

This was delicious! I used fresh lime juice instead of lemon juice and I also added in an extra can of chicken broth. I had cumin, garlic and chili powder marinated pork tenderloin that we grilled the night before so I added that in instead of the chicken. I served this with the spicy black bean empanadas from this site. Will definatly make this again!!

Made this yesterday changed serving size to 24 fedmy family of six with just enough leftover for me and the baby today. This was fantastic just enough spice to taste good but not too much for the children. It's quick and easy and super tasty. Great for a cool autumn day. Thanks for sharing
