My family really enjoyed this soup. I fried up some low-carb torilla shells to go with it! Thanks for the recipe!

First, I would like to thank you for your lovely 5-star review of my Easy Taco Stew. I am so glad you enjoyed it. To show my appreciation, I have made this soup and we absolutely loved it. It tastes just like Nachos!!!! Very comforting on this cold rainy day. We particularly loved the combination of the tomatoes and green chilies and the cheeses. Thanks so much for sharing it, SoozieQ.

This has a nice flavor but it was too thin for my picky husband. He doesn't like thin soups. I am not sure what I could do different next time unless I cut the broth down to 3 cups. I like it ok, but probably won't make again.
