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!

This soup is awesome! I found that by boiling the chicken breast, I did not have to use the canned broth, which saved money AND sodium. I then cooled and shredded the chicked and added the broth to all of the other ingredients. I did not use the topping as this soup is so delicious without the chips. This soup is spicy, but not overly spicy. It is perfect and great as is. Thanks for posting. This recipe is easy and definitely a favorite of mine and anyone else who tries it.

This is INCREDIBLE soup. We made it precisely according to the directions, and it was very good at first taste. Letting it sit in the fridge overnight, it was fantastic. Our slight variation was to serve it piping hot over over rice and black beans, "gumbo style" (copying the menu of a local Mexican restaurant). Garnish with a squeeze of Key Lime, y hombre, esa sopa es muy, pero muy rica!

I used only a splash of olive oil- nonstick pan- to reduce fat. Added some diced fresh carrots and celery and upped the garlic to 6 large cloves and added some cayenne to it- have a cold! grrr I used some homemade broth I had frozen and fresh tomatoes rather than canned. this would be great with one chipotle- would add a hint of smoky flavor. I also added some chopped zuchinni at the end just until soft. Very traditional Mexican. Great recipe- very easy to add or take away to your tastes and still comes out yummy! Thanks so much for sharing!

Oh my goodness... I just finished this meal and I am so stuffed I could barely move I doubled the recipe and added a bunch of leftover turkey and a tall can of black beans. I served with cheese, sour cream, sliced avocado and homeade Seasoned Tortilla Strips. This was totally delicious - I wouldn't have done a thing to change the perfect flavor and my house smelled like heaven while I was cooking it!

Fantastic recipe...Everyone kept wanting more!! I added 2 cans of canneloni beans and mashed up one can to give the soup a creamier texture. The flavors are wonderful. A 5 start recipe, that I have added to my collection and plan to use again and again. Can't wait to make some more.

This is a wonderful, spicy soup. Served it with grilled cheese sandwiches. I omitted the green pepper because I'm not really crazy about them, but it didn't take away from the great flavor!

This recipe is one of my all time favorites! I simply can't get enough. And, shortly after I fell in love with this recipe, I fell in love with the girl who introduced it to me. Coincidence? I think not.
