  1. This was very good. I did add more flour to make it thicker (added about two handfuls) and also put in a can of Rotel instead of the tomato/chilis. Thanks!
     
  2. I made this for Super Bowl Sunday and it was a big hit. It was thinner than expected, but everyone loved it. I substituted diced tomatoes with chilis for fresh, and added whole jalepenos but ended taking them out after a few hours simmering in the crockpot because I didn't want it too spicy. Also, I cut back the cheddar chees by half and left out the sour cream, as I was trying to make it more healthy. 3 people asked for the recipe.
     
  3. This was pretty good. I made half a recipe and used lowfat cheese. It came out a little thinner than expected, but sure was tasty. I could even go for more spice, so next time might use the seeds with the jalepeno! Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. I altered this recipe a bit to fit what I had on hand. I made this with fat free milk instead of half and half, and light sour cream and it was still delicious! I also used a few cups less chicken broth so I could add a 28oz can of enchilada sauce because I had it sitting around in the cupboard. I used a can of chopped tomatoes and a whole 7oz can of green chilies because I love them! My boyfriend said "I think this is your best soup yet." Your recipes are so fun to cook and easy to customize!
     
  5. Oh my Enchilada this soup is GOOD! So easy to prepare, which is a must for me. I didn't have half and half, so I used half whipping cream and half milk, oh darn. I also included the entire small jar of green chilies as I didn't want half a can sitting around. Fits in perfectly with this low carb lady!
