Great soup! I took a few liberties with the recipe, because while I love the flavor brought by chilies, my tolerance for heat is pretty moderate. I really appreciate how easy this goes together, everything that I needed was something that I had on hand in the pantry or freezer. I used b/s chicken thighs, replaced the Rotel with plain diced tomatoes, and omitted the jalapeno. I also cut the chipotle back to just a teaspoon. For garnishes, I used sour cream and shredded cheese. While I really enjoyed this soup, I have to say that if you don't enjoy fiery food, this may not be the recipe for you. Chipotles and jalapenos bring a lot of flavor along with their heat; and by omitting a large portion of them, I had to increase the cumin and chili powder in order to compensate. Even then, this was very spicy (for me), and I was glad to have the sour cream stirred in to cool my tongue. This dish was very welcome on a cold, wet night, and I wish I had the heat tolerance to enjoy it as written! Thank you for posting an awesome recipe!

Whew - this is great stuff! You weren't kidding about the spice - it's hot hot hot - but rich and flavorful too. I left out the onions and used less cilantro, otherwise made as specified. Served it with sour cream and shredded Monterrey Jack and really enjoyed - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Wow, the description is right. It is fiery!! I followed the recipe except I used b/s thighs and left out the tortillas as I like to only sprinkle crispy broken chips on top.

This is awesome! My husband loves jalapenos, so this caught my eye. He is not a big soup person, but devoured this. Made exactly as stated except I left out the black beans as we are not fans. We dolloped with sour cream and fresh pico de gallo. Will make again this winter. Thanks for another yummy one.
