Southwestern Chicken Soup Haiku: "Needs a little oomph. I gave a nibble halfway, then added some stuff." I gave the soup a slurp after a few hours, and while very good, I felt that it needed some more flavor - so I threw in a handful of cilantro, and a hefty scoop of AR's "Taco Seasoning I" and it ended up being a fabulous soup. (Oh I also cubed my chicken, not strips.) Like other reviewers, I think it could really shine w/ some black beans too, so when I make it again, I'll do just that, as well as w/ my other small additions. If it thickened up a bit more, I imagine it bordering on chili and rockin' w/ some cheese and sour cream on top too.

Very good, made with my homemade chicken broth and the cut up chicken from the whole chicken. Would make again.

This was good. I added 1 can of drained black beans and 1 tsp of minced garlic. I also omitted the peppers and chilies for my kids. They loved it and so did my husband and I. Will definately make again!

This is basically the same recipe I have making for a few years. I double the chicken and boil the breasts and use that seasoned stock along with additional broth. I also use diced tomatoes with green chiles and two to three chopped serrano peppers instead of the reg and green peppers. I alos add two cans drained black beans and two cans of pinto beans. I do cook my onion, peppers, fresh garlic and cumin seeds in oil before adding other ingredients. I also add cilantro toward the end of cooking. This so good on a cold day but its even better the next day after all of the seasonings have blended well.

This is a really tasty soup and easy to fix. The only change I made to the recipe was to substitute a can of Original Rotel for the green chilies since I had Rotel on hand. I'll certainly be making this again.

Very good! I, too, used a can of Rotel instead of diced tomatoes. I also added some chili powder, red pepper flakes and used jalapenos instead of diced chiles. I love spicy!

We are going to try adding black beans with the recipe next time. But overall, we really liked this.

Plain, simple, and yummy. It was less spicy than I'd anticipated, and it doesn't have much bulk (b/c there's no rice or beans), but it was nice with sour cream and corn chips. I did take the advice of other reviewers and sauteed the chicken in a garlic/spice seasoning, which was nice. If I hadn't done this, I think it would have been too bland for our tastes.

Very good. I made this following the recipe exactly and everyone loved it. Next time I think I will add a little less jalepenos because hubby said it was a little hot for him, but tasted great! Will definitely make again.
