So easy, and yet sooooo tasty! Wow! This is one of those recipes you can just keep the ingredients on hand in case company unexpectedly drops by...delicious, impressive dinner in about an hour! I omitted the corn (don't like the texture) and added cayenne pepper (we like it spicy!). In fact, our company gobbled it up last night, and we wanted leftovers, so batch number 2 is on the stove now! This will be a regular in our kitchen!

Very nice. I added a bit of paprika and cayenne, like a previous reviewer. The only thing I wish I had done differently is to break apart the tortilla chips (or use tortilla strips) .

This is one of those perfect recipes- You don't have to follow it exactly and you can do lots of different things with it- and it will still satisfy you and everyone who came over to eat Tortilla soup.

i'd never been able to find a vegetarian tortilla soup recipe before - this was great! i was going to use fresh vegetables, but because peppers are so expensive right now, i used the frozen ones as in the recipe and it was still delicious! i added a jalapeno with the garlic and put fresh cilantro, sour cream, a little lime, and jack cheese on top in addition to the avacado. my husband and i both loved it.

This soup is excellent. I added black beans and sliced olives. Make sure to use the juice from the corn. I didnt use it all because I thought it would be to brothy, but it wasnt. This is a great soup!!

Thanks for this recipe. This turned out great! I too made a few modifications: used fresh vegetables, added a jalepeno, used extra garlic, added a pinch each of cayenne and paprika, and used jack cheese. I have never made this type of soup before and I was really impressed. The avocados make a perfect addition. Thanks again!

I made this for a Friday night soup dinner during Lent. It was a hit! Not a drop left, and I was asked for the recipe by all who tried it. I followed recipe exactly adding only rosemary, oregano, a dash of hot sauce, and a half stick of butter. Delicious! Will definitely make again!

I liked the idea of this recipe, but it definitely needed some tweeking. Originally I was going to follow the recipe exactly as it was, but then decided to cut back on the cumin and add more garlic. I gave it a taste and it was pretty bland, so I added cilantro, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and a few dashes of hot sauce. I also decided to add in some cooked spanish rice at the last minute. I ladeled it into bowls, stirred in sour cream and topped with cheddar cheese. I added broken up lime flavored tortilla chips as needed so they wouldn't get soggy. My boyfriend an I both thought the soup turned out great and will probably make it again. I would give the recipe 4 stars with the adjustments I made.

i made this recipe for a going away party and it was a hit! I put blue corn chips in the bottom of the bowl, then ladled on the soup, then topped with grated cheddar cheese and sour cream. Delicious! Easy to prepare and easy to shop for! I will make this again.. probably next time frying up my own tortilla crisps since also are quite easy. yum!
