OK, OK, so I know this soup is outrageoously high in sodium content. That said, it was delicious! It was fast, easy and tasty. I used cooked chicken that I had on hand and followed the recipe without any variations. My husband liked it so much that he swiped my new Taste of Home soup cookbook that I haven't even had a chance to read through yet and tucked it into his lunch bag so that he could take the recipe to work tomorrow and copy it for his staff. You might try using the reduced sodium soups if sodium content is a concern.

Very easy and very good. It makes a lot and I have frozen some of it and used it later. My family enjoys it.

This recipe is very easy and the end result is so good! I followed most of the directions but changed the following:

-Instead of chicken breast strips, I used 2 cans of white meat chicken

-Instead of canned green chilies, I used frozen Hot green chili

-I added Salt, Pepper, and Garlic Salt for extra flavor

-I used a steamed corn mix instead of canned Mexicorn

-I didn't add tortilla strips because we prefer to eat them on the side

The end product was creamy, slightly spicier, and hearty!

Very easy and tasty chowder but the amount of sodium per serving gave me sticker shock. The next time I made it, I made some adjustments: only 1 can each of the condensed soups (I used cheddar cheese soup in place of the potato and reduced sodium for the CoC); 3 cups skim milk; 1 quart low sodium chicken broth; boneless, skinless chicken breasts (poached in the chicken broth). I added 8 oz of chopped fresh mushrooms and 3 more tortillas. Everything else was the same. Although it was thin the first day by the next day it had thickened up more. Really enjoyed it and plan to keep it in my soup rotation, especially with the cold weather coming on.

Love this recipe!! My family loves this recipe! My 4 year old loves this recipe!! I toast the tortilla strips in a skillet before I put them in the soup. Keeps them from sticking together and becoming quite so much like dumpling consistency.

This recipe was AWESOME! I made it for my colleagues at work and they loved it. We couldn't stop talking about it. I also added a can of Rotel, and served it with cilantro!!

This was very easy and good. I used uncooked chicken and cooked it up with some onion. I also added a little water to get the right consistency.

This soup was easy and delicious. I loved the flavors, and instead of Mexicorn, I subbed Chipolte Mexicorn and added a couple of dashes of cayenne pepper and it was great.

this is a delicous soup and I would definitely make it again. It was so easy to make and the flavor was rich. It certainly tasted like you had cooked it all day. Definitely a keeper. Barbra Ash, Birmingham, AL

Loved this chowder! So easy to make and even better the next day. The tortillas held up surprisingly well. Added more chicken broth to thin it down some.

so so SO good! I used cream of mushroom soup instead of the cream of potato (because I didn't have it on hand) and it still worked really well. I also added one can of chili beans and used about 1 C more chicken broth, just because I thought it was a little thick. Love the idea of using tortilla strips! They held up really well in the soup (even as leftovers) and tasted like noodles.

This was delicious and very easy. We substituted ground, cooked chorizo for the chicken strips and it was just fantastic. I will definitely make this again. I think I will add an additional can of Mexicorn next time.

this may be my all time favorite! I didn't expect it to be THIS good! My only complaint is that it says it makes 2-1/2 qt which is incorrect. It's at least 3 qts so I had to transfer from a "large saucepan" to a dutch oven.
