I'm new to cooking and this was the first soup I've ever made by myself, so I just followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! I had a couple of sceptics in the room but they all shut up when they had a mouth full of this awsome soup!

Thank you! My husband came home from work with a cold, and I needed a soup, quickly! I followed your recipe, except that I didn't have peppers or chiles on hand. I used canned chicken, kidney and garbanzo beans, and 1/2 cup of salsa. I had shredded mozzerella, so I put it on top with some sliced avocado, and tortilla chips on the side. It was perfect! My husband loved it, and so did I!

Made some changes but the recipe really helped me make a delicious chicken tortilla soup. I have been searching for such a recipe! Used 18 oz of southwest style grilled chicken strips, shredded. Used black beans instead of kidney, added a can of Rotel (use variety you like best) along with the stewed tomatoes, added 1/4 of fresh jalapeno, seeded and diced instead of canned green chile, added 15 oz can of corn instead of 1 cup, added 8 oz of Velveeta pepperjack cheese, used 3 cans of reduced sodium chicken broth, also added a bunch of fresh chopped cilantro while cooking. It was SO good. After it was ready, added a dollop of non-fat greek yogurt, more fresh cilantro, a spoonful of pico de gallo, about 1/3 avocado, cut into thin strips or diced, and tortilla strips, broken into large pieces-add as much as you like while eating soup. My husband and I loved this soup and wished we had doubled it!

This was very good! I added chic peas to mine and omited the green chile peppers (only because my toddler would be eating it). When it was cooking I was wondering how good it was really going to be. I served it with old cheddar cheese on top and it was fantastic! Also enjoyed dipping nacho chips into it. Thanks!

Wow. I doubled it. Used kidney beans and chilli beans, used home made broth, added a habanero and one more can of corn, and about 2 Tbs of taco seasoning, and 1/2 Tbs of red pepper flakes. Very good and easy to make. I will make this again for sure.

This was great! Such a hearty soup and so easy to make! I asked my boyfriend whether he liked it and got a resounding, "Mhmmm..." I added 250ml more chicken broth, because the 850ml didn't seem like enough (I am not really good at measuring out ingredients and just throw them in as I see fit). I used canned goods this time, but will make it with fresh foods in the future to lower the sodium.

This was fantastic and insanely easy to make! I doubled the amount of kidney beans, green and red peppers and broth, but you can basically do this whole recipe to taste. Also, I added fresh chopped cilantro and avocado to the top as a garnish...yum!

Delicious Soup! I'm basing my rating on the 2 changes I made...I didn't add the green pepper because I didn't have any, and I added a can of black beans. It was delcious and simple to make! Topped each serving with sour cream and some cheddar cheese. I served it with corn bread muffins..yummy dinner! Thanks for a great recipe!!

This was SOOO good and so easy!! I've tried several recipes for "tortilla soup", but they were all very bland. This one had so much flavor!! The only thing I added was lime juice and I didn't use onion or bell pepper....and it was still great even without them! My husband even went back for seconds and took leftovers for lunch....that NEVER happens!! We will be eating this again!
