This soup is really good, like the others I did add more chicken stock to lessen the thickness. My daughters loved it! Will make it again.

I'd give it 3.5 if I could. It was good enough but just didn't do it for us. I was a little turned off by the aroma but the taste was good. I had to double the recipe to get 5 1.5C servings. After eating a bowl, we agreed that it would benefit from more chicken or something. It reminded me of a creamy casserole without the "stuff". I would use some ideas from it again but probably not remake it as written.

The title makes this sound like something other what it is, which is regular tortilla soup with cream. It's pretty good, I reduced the amount of half & half to save on calories but otherwise followed the directions. As so many others have pointed out, this is not 9 servings, it's 2! I roasted my peppers and removed the charred skin before chopping and adding to the soup. Very tasty and might make again, but with less cumin.

It wasn't worth the expense to make this soup. If you do decide to make it don't change the "Servings" otherwise the recipe doesn't make enough to serve. Did not have enough flavor and turned out too thick-I had to add more broth, seasoning and half/half to thin it out.

I really loved the flavor of this soup. I think the name is misleading because the cheese is simply a garnish, not a main ingredient. Of course, that was instantly evident from reading the recipe and I decided to go ahead. I liked the corn tortillas as the thickening agent and I decided to roast my poblano to add a depth of flavor. Based on most of the reviews, I added more chicken stock, but otherwise kept the ingredient amounts the same. This was made to go with chicken fajitas, so I didn't add the chicken either. I will definitely make this again.

Really good! But not nine servings at all, three at most! I used milk instead of half -n-half, added cheese to soup as well as sprinkling on top. Will make again!

I enjoyed the flavor of this soup. First bite in and it instantly reminded me of a favorite childhood casserole (King Ranch Chicken) I had growing up. My only complaint is that it is NOWHERE near 9 servings; not even if was served in tiny cups. I ended up doubleing the recipe and it made 4 lunch size servings. The flavor is really great and I intend on making this often.

This is a very good soup, but there are definitely a couple of problems with the recipe. First, the recipe has the word "Cheesy" in the title, but cheese is only used to garnish the soup. If you truly believe that this recipe makes nine servings, then you would have less than 1 TBS of cheese per serving. I added the half cup cheese to the soup and mixed in before serving, then I added more as a garnish. I used roasted poblanos as my garnish, as raw peppers are not my husband's favorite. For the tortilla garnish, I sprayed the strips with cooking spray and sprinkled them with homemade taco seasoning before oven toasting. I did have to add a good bit of extra liquid to this recipe.

I love this soup, but the servings are WAY off! I halved the recipe (for 2 people) and we didn't even get a full bowl each. Great soup though... Only change was that I added about 1/2 cup chicken to the halved recipe.
