I made as directed except I used frozen whole green chile from BiadChili.com. We used the Joe E Parker variety, which is 'medium' hot. We should have doubled the recipe :) Absolutely delicious and good for a chilly fall evening.<br/><br/>I should also note that although we now live in northern Idaho, we relocated from southern New Mexico (Las Cruces). I had my green chile shipped this year and was looking for recipes. This one caught my attention and was well worth it!

What a delightful soup! Made as directed, but I think next time I will make some changes. I will probably dice up some fresh jalapenos with the onions and garlic. I used a whole container of Bueno (New Mexico green chile) and it was not hot enough for us!! LOL You know how people from the SW are! It has a wonderful flavor and the chicken is so nice and tender. We put tortilla chips in the bottom of our bowl, added the soup and topped with cheese, sour cream and avacado. DELISH! This will be sooooo good come winter. Thanks for sharing with us!!

Oh my gosh!!! It's been a rainy day here in Arizona & I love green chili, so I doubled this soup for dinner and there's none left (only 5 of us). Quick to prepare and delightfully spicy. Real comfort food. The first bite said, "Oh, too spicy." But the next bite said, "Give me more, more, more!" Each of us had 2 bowlfulls. This will be a favorite on cool nights.
