This was a really good tortilla soup that I would certainly make again. I did, however, change it up. I added a lot more cumino than it called for and a little more chili powder. I also used 32oz of chicken stock. I would salt the chicken while browning it. I did not use corn and I added a large handful of finely chopped cilantro. It wouldn't be the same w/o the cilantro. We topped it with a little cheese, avocado and tortilla chips.

This is a good starting point, but I used some of the advice of the other posters. This is what I did and it turned out AMAZING. I boiled the chicked in water with garlic and salt as advised NMR. I used a full 34 oz of chicken broth, but don't do this unless you are going to cook it down for a few hours. I used much more chili pepper and cumin than the recipe asked for because it was tasting too much like chicken broth. After a shredded the chicken I sauted the onion with garlic and the chicken then added the chicken broth and corn. I let this cook for 2-3 hours on a low simmer. About 30 min before serving I added 3/4 can of black beans. This gave the soup more substance and a great flavor. I served it in a bowl with a small amount of white rice at the bottom. I put 2-3 slices of avocado on one side and tortilla chips on the other than topped it with jack cheese. My friend came over for dinner and a movie she was raving about it all week!!

I wasn't crazy about this recipe until I added the cheese, tortilla chips and sour cream. After all of that is added, this is a very good soup! I also added a can of green chilies and some cayenne pepper. Very good!

The flavor in this soup is perfect. I added black beans. I plan on making this and freezing dinner/lunch size portions to have on hand for busy days.

Two words: Awe-Some!! We took a shortcut with rotisserie chicken and added some extra cayenne. We ate it with "Grandmother's Buttermilk Cornbread" (also 5 stars!) from this site. Thanks Betty!! **Update - some black beans are also yummy!

A very tasty soup! I cut the chicken into pieces prior to sauteing and added canned black beans near the end. Add the seasonings to the chicken for better flavor. For my taste, it needed more garlic. Some pickled jalapenos added some heat. A good squeeze of lime juice helped point the flavors in the soup. I didn't have Monterey Jack cheese, so I used Velveeta, which was also good. I served green onions,crushed tortillas, shredded cheese and sour cream as toppings on the side. A very tasty soup!

Quick, easy and delicious. I do make another recipe for Chicken Tortilla Soup that I like better, but it uses more ingredients, and can be a pain in the butt to make. This recipe is easy to make, and fairly cheap. Enjoy!

I love this recipe and make it regularly with rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. This is even better with the mexican style tomatoes with cilantro and a can of green chilies.

Great recipe! Made this for my parents and they loved it. I did add extra corn, onion, and salsa, and also added a can of black beans. Definitely shred the chicken, the smaller the better. You can also use a rotisserie chicken and eliminate the 5 minutes of sauteeing step. Will make this again!

I've used this recipe again and again to rave reviews. It's SO easy to make and I love the flavor of the lemon juice. I love to top mine off with extra lemon juice, avocado and homemade fried tortilla strips. Mmmmm...

I first made this recipe a little over a year ago... I made some changes after reading some reviews and it was AMAZING! First of all, I make this in a crock pot, I throw everything in, including frozen chicken breasts, and let it cook. I take the chicken out after it's done and shred it. Shredded chicken tastes SO much better then chunks for this recipe. I've made this so many times that I don't measure anything anymore... I just keep adding until the crock pot it full! This recipes turns out fabulous even when you add different items that you may like. My changes... I add a package of taco seasoning, kick up the amout of cumin considerably (I just keep tasting it), add a can of white hominy, a can of black beans, I add shredded cheese in the crock pot or just when you serve it, and about an hour before serving it I add a small bag of noodles that are sold in the internation isle. They are like miniture shells, they have to be really small because regular ones get so big that it throws off the texture of the soup. They are called "La Moderna" Product of Mexico. They are only .60 a bag! They really give it what it's missing. Served with baked tortilla chips that I break up and spray with cooking oil... just until they turn golden. I gave it 4 stars because I add alot to this recipe, but after I'm done I'd give it 5! When all is said and done, we have a delicious and very filling dinner! It's great to freeze and take for lunch. My Hubby LOVES THIS!!! I'm making it today

This is my absolute favorite mexican soup recipe! (And I know my mexican food...) I only added one thing (1/2 to 1 whole packet of taco seasoning) that helped make the soup a little bolder, and the consistency a bit thicker. I found the soup a bit runny watery and not spicy enough for me. Adding the packet of taco of seasoning really made the soup! (If you make your own taco seasoning, throw it in instead!) Top with a dollop of sour cream and sliced avocado and you've got yourself the best soup. Serve with cornbread or quesadillas for a full meal.
