I added some sugar and sprinkled some shredded cheddar on top. I did not use jalapenos. This is good both with and without the crushed tortilla chips on top.

This soup was so easy to make. I added two cans of black beans and a little more chicken but it was so good and the leftovers were out of this world! Will make again and again!

Amazing is right! This soup was so delicious! I made as posted except that I used some leftover chicken that I had and I used a can of green chilies instead of the jalapeno and I added a can of black beans. YUM! I simmered for about an hour. I served with Seasoned Tortilla Strips Seasoned Tortilla Strips by Junebug. Thanks for posting a keeper!

Amazing, awesome, outstanding, incredibly good — I'm not sure what else to say. Tried this last night. BF wasn't too sure about it but thought it smelled good. He ate two huge bowls of it last night and took another large container to work today for his lunch. I didn't have a regular onion, but I did have some green onions, so I used those. Also, for the chicken broth, diced tomatoes and tomato sauce, I used the lowest sodium content I could find. Even with these substitutions, we thought it was AWESOME! We'll definitely be making this again and again and again — Thanks for sharing your outstanding recipe!
