used a few dashes of chili powder instead of cayenne pepper. Added cord tortillas cut up like noodles. No jalapeno peppers.

Very tasty. I added a few extras....kidney beans, char grilled corn, some tomato and jalepenas. Had to make it go a bit further! It is a great main course soup. Next time I might even add a little rice to thicken a bit more, but it is an excellent soup.

Awesome recipe. It has been a long time that I have been wanting to use tomatillos. Thanks for the post but also thanks to the other reviewers whose advise I took: 1. I do believe the original recipe can be bland and waterry. So, I added 1 cup less of the chicken stock. I also added a mexican spice blend, a red pepper, and adoba. I also fried the chicken in chipotole pepper sauce. It was awesome. I could not believe I ate 3 bowls. We added tortillas on top.

I grew tomatillos in my garden last summer, and wasn't sure what to do with them until I tried this recipe. It is an amazing soup. I slice corn tortillas and bake in oven until crispy, then add to soup.

This was great soup! Changed the recipe a bit - added a bit of cumin and marjoram and some corn and black beans at the end of the cooking to make it a bit more filling. Also, like another reviewer, I just added all the ingredients (whole) to the crock pot and then after about 5.5 hours on high, took out the chicken and shredded it and blended the rest and then added the chicken back - sooooo good and SO easy!

I also used the slow cooker, but didn't have any chicken handy so I used some sausages that were handy. My husband doesn't like hot foods so I cut back on the cayenne. I think this would be good with some gabanzo beans. Great way to use us all those tomatillos that got ripe at the same time.

I wish it were a bit thicker. But good flavor. I didn't need to put in cayenne pepper or hot sauce, it was spicy enough! And I like spicy!

Excellent Soup! The flavors and spice were great. The only thing I changed is I increased the cilantro to 1/4 cup, I added about a half cup of hominy after I pured the vegies and cooked for about 15 miniutes to get the flavor of the hominy throughout the soup (4 servings) and topped it off with a tablespoon of shredded Monterey Jack per bowl. This is definitely going in my recipe box!
