We love this soup. Prefer with out the cheese and tortillas.

I have made this soup several times. This is a great recipe, but I had to have a more hearty and nutritionally balanced meal in a soup. I added black, pinto and kidney beans (I use dry beans, soaked overnight, and simmer them with the chicken, tomatoes, spices and water for an hour, but canned will work fine, too -- just be sure to drain and rinse well, then put them in the soup last ten minutes) and frozen corn in the last 15 minutes of simmering. I also boil a whole chicken with onion, salt and celery the night before, strain out the chunks, refrigerate broth, skim off fat next day, and use instead of canned broth (but breasts and canned broth works okay, too, just not as flavorful – I cut cooking time by microwaving the breasts in the canned broth instead of baking in oven, then strain broth before adding to pot). I use a large can of diced tomatoes in tomato juice, the homemade taco seasoning that was given in another review, and a cup of mild picante sauce. I crush Multi-Grain Toastitos and add with a dollop of fat-free sour cream and the avocado when serving. Fruit salad on lettuce leaves rounds it all out. Simply divine. My changes make a lot more soup for larger families or gatherings, since you will have more broth if made with a whole chicken and/or add more water with the beans and corn. Add more spices proportionally, too. Keeps well for a week in frig. Hubby then takes it to work every day and begs for more!

This was so good and full of flavor! I poached the chicken in water with a little taco seasoning and then made some boil-in-bag rice in the same broth I cooked the chicken in. I also added garlic, the juice of a lime to the soup and used lime to garnish the soup as well.

I had some left over Mexican chicken, so I decided to make this soup. At first I wasn't going to put avocado in at the end like the recipe calls for, but decided to after all, boy was I glad I did, it was really good! I even added a little red cabbage to my soup. I also added my own Mexican seasoning instead of the pre-made kind. This soup is delicious. I ate 4 bowls, couldn't stop eating it! lol I love soup and I love this recipe, I will definitely make this again. :)

O.M.G.... JUST LIKE THE OTHERS THIS IS ABSOULUTELY QUICK AND DELICIOUS!! ADDED CAN OF PINTO BEANS ,CAYENNE PEPPER AND A CAN OF DICE CHILIES. WITH OR WITHOUT AVACADO &CORN CHIPS IT IS GREAT!!!!!!DID HAVE TO SEASON TO TASTE.

This was pretty simple and pretty delicious!

It is a good recipe but I had to add some things to make it great.

The whole family loved it! I did have to add some more seasonings. I put Ms. Dash in everything, so maybe it was just me.

This was pretty good. I added a large clove of garlic and a fresh diced jalapeno. I also used a whole can of diced tomatoes. I ended up adding the whole rest of the taco seasoning packet as it wasn't spicy enough for us. I served it with shredded white cheddar cheese and crushed corn tortilla chips--the chips really make a big difference, and next time I might try chopping up some corn tortillas and letting them dissolve in the soup, or maybe adding some corn? I also might serve it with white rice next time or cornbread. It was a good soup, but something was "missing."

My all time favorite soup. The flavors are amazing, I crave it all the time. Everyone always requests it. Thanks for the great recipe.

Mmmm...Very good and definately a nice twist on reg. chicken soup. I changed the recipe a bit. I added minced garlic and quartered baby carrots. I also added 2 extra cups of chicken broth and 1 extra cup of water. With the exception of adding a bay leaf, I left the spices the same, I also added the juice of 1 lime which gave it a nice twist! Used turkey instead of chicken b/c I prefer it. Next time I will try it w/ chicken taco seasoning. Delicious! Thanks!

The soup came out wonderful!! I adjusted the recipe a bit. I competely coated the chicken breasts with chicken taco seasoning and baked than cooled. I shredded the seasoned chicken and added to the simmering broth. I added a handful of rice to the broth as well and used habenero chilis instead of celery. I also added fresh cilantro to taste (more than what the recipe called for.) I used canned diced tomatoes with the juice instead of fresh. I added fresh avocado and tortilla strips when I served the soup and instead of chedder cheese...try Cacique Ranchera Mexican cheese. MMMMMMM!! My boyfriend and I spent 3 days eating up the soup - it was great!! -

Very easy and a great recipe! Am fixing it for the second time this week.

My family loved this soup. We are soup lovers and are always for new ones to try out . . . this one will be made over and over again. Adding the avocado was pure genius. The ingredient that we added to this soup is a squeeze of lime once we were ready to eat. The flavor was incredible. I really recommend this recipe!

My family really liked this one, even my sometimes picky two year old! I did make a few changes, used 1 jar black bean and corn salsa (instead of diced tomatoes), left out the cilantro and added a 3/4 can of green chiles. It's a keeper!

This is our family's favorite soup. I add a little more cumin and taco seasoning mix than what is called for. I also stir in a little cheddar cheese before it is served just to thicken it up a little. You MUST have it with avocados. Great recipe!

this soup came out great,i used alot of taco seasoning, i coated both sides of the chicken with it and then added more to the soup, my husband enjoyed it so much, and he doesnt like to try new things. I will definitely be making this again! oh yea. we used mexican krafts cheese and to me the made it even better.
