I had some chicken breasts in the fridge I had to use and since this was the first really cold fall day I wanted to make some soup. I went to this site, found this recipe and decided to give it a try. My chicken made 3 cups which isn't too much and I will probably use 3 cups whenever I make this again. I made this exactly as printed except for the green bell peppers. We DO NOT like any bell peppers regardless of color!! Instead I put 1.5 cups of corn in with the liquid ingredients. Simmered for 15 minutes and then tasted the broth. We like our food a little spicier so I followed another reviewers advice and added chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes. Let that simmer for a few minutes, then added a can of Campbells cheese soup to make give it a little more "body." While it was simmering right before serving, I cut corn tortillas in 1/4 inch strips and deep fried them. I dished up the soup, put a little "birds nest" of tortilla strips on top and let me tell this is absolutely the best soup I've ever had!! I like the original recipe with the substitution of corn and will probably make it like that most of the time. Without the cheese soup and tortillas strips this is a wonderful soup that anyone on Weight Watchers could use. My son and daughter-in-law came over and ate with us and we ate the entire pot of soup. WONDERFUL. YUM, YUM. I think next time I will leave off the tortilla strips and fix some jalapeno corn bread.....can't wait.
