This soup is absolutely delicious. I did it exactly the same as the recipe the first time and probably will make it just like the most of the time.The flavor on its own is that good! However, this soup is so versatile you could add all kinds of things;beans, sour cream, corn, chicken, diced tomatoes. Making this again today as I am CRAVING it! Oh and so healthy!!! Did you know that chilis have more vitamin C in them than oranges? Yep, it's a fact!

When you have to make so many changes to a recipe, it is not the original that you are rating, so unlike many other reviews who told all the things they added to make this delicious, I will say it was way too much work for a soup that was not to our liking. It wasn't that spicy at all, it was relatively thin and really lacked a good flavor. Won't bother trying to improve on it.

I was looking for a clone of a recipe I had at Guadalajara Restaurant in Houston, but this wasn't it. It was bland, despite adding seasonings as suggested by other reviewers. Thanks for the post, but I probably won't make it again.

This recipe was ok. I followed the instructions exactly except I only used 3 peppers & added chicken to the finished product. The soup was too thin for my taste. It turned out really spicy. Other than the spiciness it was pretty bland. At this point I added onion powder, garlic powder, 1 c milk, 1 c broth, & some sour cream. This made it thinner so I made some rice and poured it over. It wasn't bad but wasn't great either. Everyone in my family refused to eat it. Overall, I gave it 3 stars because I think with a few experiments this could be a really good recipe. I will probably use this recipe in the future to turn into something really good since I enjoy experimenting with recipes.

This is really good! I think next time I'll add an onion to the mix to jazz it up a bit. I really don't think this needs heavy whipping cream at all. Just a little half and half to cut down on fat/calories

I tried this recipe but used cumin, caramelized chopped onion, sauteed garlic, a dash of nutmeg, some roasted acorn squash, 2 cans of creamed corn, 1 cup of milk instead of 2, and 1.5 cups of homemade chicken stock. I blended the vegetables minus the corn until it was smooth, then added the corn and milk sauce and heated it through. I served it with shredded cheddar cheese. I'm not sure if I should even rate it because I didn't follow the recipe exactly, but I think what we had was great.

I used about 4 poblano and a quarter of a hungarian roasted wax pepper. I also added one onion sauteed with some cumin and a head of roasted garlic. I used 1.5 cups of milk. During the last 15 minutes I diced up some zucchini that I had to give it some texture. It was definitely spicy so I may go with 2 poblano and no wax pepper. Definitely add the sour cream at the end. It helps round out the flavor.

Halved this recipe, EXCEPT the chicken broth. (Used full amount). Added one onion, 4 cloves of garlic, and white pepper. Used olive oil instead of butter b/c we were out. WAS SO GOOD.
