The reviewer gave this recipe 4 stars. This recipe averages a 4.18 star rating.

This soup was delicious! Just a few adjustments I made: added one bag of steamed corn (for texture), 1 extra can green chiles, 4 cups chicken stock (to lessen the thickness). It really was a great soup, all my friends loved it and want it again soon.

This recipe is a great base! To add some more flavor I added garlic and some chopped onions to the melted butter before adding the flour. I also added a little less flour because I thought the flavor came through to much. You could add a little more chicken broth too, if its still to creamy. After the soup cooked for a little bit I added quite a bit of cumin and a chicken bullion cube for more flavor. The soup itself however is so simple that you could add just about any seasoning you want. I also found that it really doesn't need to be simmered as long as it says, but it does help the flavor of the chilies to come out. Also, it helps to add some crushed red pepper if the chilies aren't spicy enough for you. After its cooked you almost don't need to add any salt because the flavor is so good, but it never hurts!

Really very thick, not the best in a spicy soup. The chiles were a nice touch, but this burned going down. Was not impressed. Thanks anyways, but we won't be making this again.

This is a great base for people like me, who do not make cream soups very often. However, I did scale down both butter to 1/4 cup, added a medium fresh onion and 2 cloves of garlic. I also scaled down the flour (I don't like thick, cream soups) I also added about 1.5 cup of fresh roasted green chiles. Live in NM, so its widely available. If anyone can access anaheim chiles to roast or frozen Bueno chiles...lucky you. It makes a huge difference!

Agree with reviewer who likened it to condensed cream of chicken soup. The flavor was decent, but it was a bit on the thick side for us.

It was ok, but was more like cream of chicken soup from a can with a zip of green chiles. It would be an excellent base to use instead of the canned version called for in many casseroles.

I might just be a spicy girl, but even after I added enchalada sauce, cumin, green chile powder and hot sauce, it was still a little bland for me. The recipe does offer a nice base to experiment though, so thank you!

My family really liked this recipe! I did make a few changes, though. I put in 2 cans of green chiles instead of 1 and I added a can of enchilada sauce. My husband added some hot sauce to his, too. Thanks for the great recipe!!!

I thought this would be a little thick for our tastes so I only used half the a mount of butter and flour called for. Also added sauteed minced onion because I thought it might be bland even though the description calls it a spicy soup. It still was bland after following the recipe so I doctored it up with hot peppers and some cumin and then it had a good flavor and was a nice 'comfort' soup for a cold winter's night.

Great Stuff! Thanks Ann... I did add a medium onion and Bell Pepper, sliced mushrooms, upped the amount of chicken and increased the Diced Green Chiles to 2 small cans. I adjusted the consistancy by adding water or milk as I saw fit. Simmered it a bit longer as well, just because I had nothing else to do. I served this over white rice, came out great. We will be having this again. This dish can be eaten as a bowl of soup, or served over Rice, noodles or what ever you desire. It's Very versatile when it comes to serving selections and advantages.

I prepared this yesterday for Sunday supper on a wet, wintry day. It really did hit the spot. Both my husband and I truly enjoyed it and I definitely plan on keeping this recipe for future use. The only alteration I made was at

This was great! So easy to throw together for a quick meal. Tried it with the canned diced chilis the first time I made it. The second time I sauteed about a half dozen diced jalepenos instead & it was even better!

This was a little thick for our taste, though the simplicity was great. We haven't made it again because we just didn't care for the flavor that much.

Delicious soup. Came together very quickly. Added some additional heavy whipping cream to give it a more creamy texture. Also, added more green chiles as well as a can of green enchilada sauce. Upped the amount of chicken. Think I will make this for a tailgate party I am organizing.
