My family loves this soup! (I'ts out of a Crock-Pot recipe book). When I make it I use green enchilada sauce instead of red, dried cilantro and frozen sliced yellow squash, omiting the zucchini. I have even used canned chicken before so I didn't have to cook and shred chicken breasts. It's also very easy to adjust how "spicy" it is. Perfect Crock-Pot meal!

This is a pretty good soup. I made it as written and it was very easy to put together. Next time I think I may try it as a vegetarian soup. Thanks for the recipe.

Sorry Bobbie but way too many flavors in this recipe. Might be good for you but for us it was a dud.

I made this for our Sunday night supper & we both loved it. wasn't organised enough for the crockpot, so made it on the stove, simmering for 30 mins, then let stand. Only changes I made were to use salsa instead of enchilada sauce & left out cilantro. DH even said he'll make this for himself when I'm away. Thanks for sharing this winner.
