You can use packaged Mesquite flavored chicken, add more tomatoes and onions, or even get creative with the cheeses. Luckily for her, our contest judges absolutely loved it just the way it is!

Excellent flavor! I made my own tortilla chips (350 degree oven for 10 minutes). Other than that I didn't change a thing. My hubby went back for seconds!

DH and I loved this! So did my daughter! So easy and so good. Not spicy at all, but it had great flavor.

Meant NOT spicy

Not sure how you could not think this is spicy. I should have tasted it as I went along I guess. Three people eating it and we all could not finish it.

I was a little skeptical at first, but this is delicious! Not spicy at all, which is good for me. I put the cooked chicken in while it simmered though, and the results were great.

This is, hands down, the best tortilla soup I have ever made (counting light and regular recipes). Wonderful.
