This soup was very easy to make and tasted very good. I cooked my chicken with faijta seasoning and I also added a bay leaf. I think next time I make this, I may try adding frozen corn and maybe either pinto beans or black beans. Very tasty. -
Excellent. Easy. Healthy. What more can I ask for? The directions were perfect and the resulting soup was so tasty. I served it with avocado and the healthy corn tortilla strips. The only change I made was to use all chicken broth instead of a combination of beef and chicken broths. Thank you for posting this winner! -
This soup was good! I cooked my chicken in little pieces with some Mexi spice...which was good. But, I didn't really enjoy the tortillas. I think we could try tortilla chips maybe. My veggies were a bit crunchy too, so perhaps I'll saute those with the onions. Also, I think I like the cheese cubed instead of grated... I liked this soup, we weren't disappointed. But I'm going to keep searching for the recipe that really reminds me of Mexico. Thanks for sharing, the flavor was great!! -
Excellent! I used some leftover turkey and it turned out great. The only change I made was to add more garlic and a can of drained corn. Really yummy soup, thick and hearty like a stew. I will make again for sure. -
Very good. I made a few changes: 1) substituted 8-oz can tomatoe sauce with small can of tomatoe paste 2) Added 1 can drained black beans.

All that I can say is OHMYGOSH!!!! WOW this is fantastic, one of the best soups that ive ever eaten. The only thing i did different was I used rotissary chicken and I didnt have any garlic so I used garlic powder instead. Ill be making this again, its a keeper!!! Thanks for posting -
I made some homemade turkey stock and had frozen leftover turkey from Thanksgiving. I wanted to do something with it that in NO WAY resembled Thanksgiving dinner (kinda burned out on that stuff!). My husband suggested Tortilla Soup, so I found this recipe. I did everything as directed, but substituted turkey for the chicken, and turkey broth for the beef and chicken broth. I also omitted the tomato sauce and used a large can of crushed tomatoes, and a can of diced tomatoes. When I simmered it, I added a teaspoon of dried cilantro. I served it with the cheese, avocado, sour cream, and tortilla strips. What a great soup! I doubled the recipe, and we had hardly any leftovers after 2 days! The flavors were not overpowering like they tend to be sometimes in tortilla soup. Thanks for a great recipe that I will definitely keep on file for a post-Thanksgiving meal next year!

There is a small, family owned Mexican food restaraunt in the near-by town where we live. They have the BEST chicken tortilla soup!! This recipe tastes almost exactly like theirs!! It is awesome! My family and friends love it when I make this. The only difference is I put corn instead of carrots and I add cilantro. Simply DELICIOUS!!!
