Delicious! Very flavorful! I used diced tomatoes with green chilis. I also added black beans and corn. The sweet corn was a nice contrast to the spicy heat! Very quick and easy.

I've made a different Chicken Tortilla Soup for about 7 years now but decided to try this one... and I think this is the new winner. My husband loved it too... said it was "full of flavor!" My 3 year old daughter didn't care for it because it was a little spicy but I'm sure she'll learn to like it!

I love when things work out like they should!! I accidentally used too much chicken broth, but it all worked out fine! I also added a can of corn and I fried some cut up corn tortillas for topping and added some cheese and avocado slices. It was wonderful, my family loved it.

This soup is very good. I threw in a can of rinsed and drained black beans and 2 cups of frozen sweet corn from my garden. I also added an envelope of taco seasoning and an envelope of ranch dressing mix to jazz up the seasoning. Yummo!!!!!
