Great soup! I think next time I'll add more chicken broth so it's a little more "soupy"! Thanks Sarah!

The soup was okay. Not exactly what I'd call a fiesta. Adding lime juice directly to the soup helped. Also real garlic instead of powder is best. It was quick to make, I'll give it that much. I dunno, it needs something else.

This is an excellent and easy to make recipe. I passed it on to several friends who have enjoyed it as well.
