This was awesome soup!! I started with chicken legs, onion and garlic to make the broth and added a bunch of extra veggies- carrots, peppers and cabbage. Following other reviews I added more cumin and sprinkled a little extra in the bowl for serving. I don't have access to cilantro (which I LOVE!!) but this soup was well flavored without it.

This is a really good recipe! I did make some modifications, first I used a rotissary chicken from Walmart so I could skip the first step. So instead of using the water from cooking the chicken I used low sodium chicken broth. The second change I made was to use brown rice instead of white. I will probably reduce the amount of rice to 1 cup next time. Lastly, it's a bit confusing because the ingredient list calls for red pepper but the directions say to add "carrots" and doesn't say anything about the red pepper. I had both so I added both in. Turned out delicious! One warning...it is a little spicy so you might cut back on the cayenne pepper if you don't like that but overall a great recipe!

This was a fantastic soup that you can really tailor to your likes. I made a couple of minor changes to this to be able to freeze this. I didn't add the cilantro simply because I forgot to. I skipped the green onion and used regular onion instead. We really enjoyed this soup and look forward to eating this for lunch tomorrow and freezing the remainder.

I liked this soup, as did my kids. Hubby thought it was missing something. We did think it was better the second day though.

Very good, but I liked the slow-cooker chicken tortilla soup much better, and it was easier to make!

Delicious!! I added carrots, tripled the cumin, and doubled the cayenne. I also used 4 chicken breasts rather than a whole chicken. Such a good, hearty meal!

This is OK but I usually make this Tortilla soup recipe I found on here and I like my usual recipe much better. I probably won't make it again.

I made a couple of changes but nothing that would change up the recipe entirely. I did not make my own stock but used chicken breast and broth instead and, I left out the bouillon. Very flavorable and one I will make again.

For a lower-salt version, we left out the bouillon cubes...it was still delicious! Used one can of tomatoes and substituted black beans for corn. Very healthy yet hearty. Love this recipe!
