This is a very good tortilla soup recipe. It is very rich though with all the cheeses in it. My husband said he wanted it again and again though. Thank you for the new recipe taste of home!

Fantastic! I cooked the chicken, broth, chilies and tomatoes, onion, and fajita mix in a crockpot for 4-5 hours. Then i drained the chicken broth into a saucepan and added the flour, cheese, and fat free half and half to thicken. I added back the crockpot ingredients and had great results!

Made this soup for dinner over the weekend and my family loved it! The only thing I did differently was to add a large can of black beans as well as add the entire can of diced tomatoes (drained) to the soup. I served this with a fresh green salad, fresh guacamole and tortilla chips. Delicious! Thanks for sharing a great soup.

I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magizine back in 2008 when I was 10. I made it and it was amazing. The result however didn't turn out to be soup. None of the foods showed at the surfaced so I decided to make it a dip. My family and freinds love this amazing recipe. Some of my freinds that don't like something in the recipe can't even taste it. It is a perfect blend. As soup or dip this is the best recipe I have ever came across.

My family loved this recipe. I used frozen chicken tenders and put them in my crockpot with the fajita seasoning, chicken broth, onion, and tomatoes and chilies. Cooked it on low for 6 hours then diced up the chicken and through that back in the pot. I then cooked the flour with a couple cups of the broth from the crock pot until thickened then stirred that back in. I cooked it for about 2 hours more then threw in the cheese and stirred until melted. I then added milk instead of the cream and it still tasted wonderful. This recipe is definitely a keeper!

My daughter-in-law made this and it was terrific. A perfect cold winters night soup. I'll be sure to make it and put it in my recipe box...
