i thought this was fantastic, and my husband loved it. only reason why i put 4 stars is because it was missing something. maybe i should have used all hot chiles, i mixed mild and hot. it was less creamy than i thought, but was still good. i ommited the cumin because i dont like it and added a dash of paprika. easy to make and a very satisfying way of not eating meat.

My family raved. I even forgot to put the cheese in and they loved it. Once the cheese was added it was over the top! A great soup-the potatoes make it hearty-but not heavy.

Great recipe.

Utterly fabulous. I added chicken, so I used the chicken broth from that for the soup. I added lots of extra green chile (hot)and used evaporated milk in place of the cream. The consistency, for me, was perfect, with a nice creamy taste, but a brothier (though slightly thick and smooth texture). I took some of this to share with co-workers and everyone raved! Those that cook asked for the recipe, and those who don't cook asked me to bring it again! Thank you Holly! This recipe ROCKS!

This was a great recipe. I used 3 potatoes and used canned milk instead of the whipping cream. I will make again.

This was DELICIOUS on a cold winter's day! I subbed butter for the margarine, didn't add cheese, added a jalapeño, and served chorizo on the side (which people plopped into the soup, and which I might cook into the soup next time since it was so tasty). Thanks for an EXCELLENT and easy recipe that made the house smell great!

So many people thanked me for this recipe that I have to give it 5 stars. I added jalepenos to make it spicier and it was perfect. I liked it without the cream, so I left it on the side so people who aren't used to spicy food could add some. It got rave reviews with and without the cream. I used vegetable stock to make it vegetarian.

Another great soup recipe. Although it is not much to look at. I used fresh oregano and topped with fritos instead of tortillas. My kids 7 and 12, surprised me by eating it. I also topped with 1/2 mozzerella and 1/2 chedda, because that's what I had. Yum!

This soup is SUPERB! The whole time I was eating it, I couldn't stop remarking about how delicious it was! I found it to be very flavorful with just the right amount of spice! Thanks for such a fantastic recipe, which has definitely been added to my favorites! Next time, I will take the suggestion of others and add some shredded chicken to the mix to make it a little more filling!

I would give it six stars if I could! I put in a little extra green chilis and extra oregano, and I used two handfuls of frozen chopped "hash-brown" potatoes. I refused to skimp on the butter - it seemed instrumental. I did add two shredded chicken breasts (and 1 more can of low-sodium broth) to make it a meal. Skipped the chips, used mozzarella cheese (lower fat, tastes like jack cheese), half-n-half instead of cream, and served with Mexican hot sauce (Tapatio). We like it spicy here in Nevada too!

I recommend this recipe highly it's so good, and really not that spicy. I used a hand blender and slightly pureed it. I think this recipe is also really yummy without the cream. give it a try.

We love this recipe!!

After reading all the related reviews I decided to try this recipe... I'm not quite sure why everyone is raving over this recipe - I didn't find this soup to be that great. I followed the directions and found it to be a bit bland, without any really outstanding flavour. I'm thinking that adding some Chipolte might help.

We really enjoyed this soup. I entertained over the holidays and wanted something easy to make and flavorful. I found it with this recipe. I'm not a very good cook and this turned out great. I used a previous reviewer's suggestion of pureeing one third before adding the cream. It made for a great consistency. I will make it again. Next time I'm going to add chicken and see what that does. My guests asked for the recipe. Thanks, Holly for submitting it.

i MADE THIS SOUP EXACTLY AS THE RECIPE STATED AND IT WAS WONDERFUL! I WILL PUT IT ON MY "KEEPER" LIST..THANKS HOLLY

Awesome soup! I used my own chicken stock, and added some shredded chicken to it. I skipped the corn chips, too. Try this: Cut the corn off 2 sweet corn cobs and add it into the soup after step 2. You won't believe how good it is. What a wonderfully flavorful soup. Thank you Holly!
