I have made this a couple of times and it has always been a huge hit! I gave the recipe to a friend once and they had trouble at the end of it, saying that it boiled down to only about 4 small servings. I think it depends on how you want your consistency, as it is orginally served a little more soupy vs. more like a dense chili. I always serve it a littel soupy and top with sour cream or plain yogurt and eat with tortilla chips

My son loved it. Due to other comments about amount of liquid, I used 4 cups broth (I freeze chicken stock in 4 cup containers) and 4 c. water. I also used the entire 8 oz. can of tomato sauce--didn't see any point in saving 4 oz. of sauce. To thicken it up I used an entire pound bag of frozen corn rather than just a cup. And added a can of black beans, and I did not use the liquid of either can of beans. Finally, I seeded the jalapeno. We topped it off with shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled tortilla chips, and green onions as my son hasn't developed a taste for sour cream. I have been specifically instructed to save this recipe.

This was easy to put together and won rave reviews at my house! I spiced it up a little and omitted the basil and oregano, to keep the theme Mexican. I also had to cook it in stages, and it still turned out well!

This is the best chili we have ever had. It's very easy to make & the house just smelled wonderful with it simmering on the stove all afternoon.

I make this all the time. I like to add a can of drained black beans and increase the chili powder to 1T. I also cut tortillas into strips, fry them and add them to the top of the soup with sour cream. Everyone loves it and it's almost better the next day.

Reminded me of tortilla soup, and was looking for something more hearty and comforting. However, I love tortilla soup and it tasted very good. Next time, I'll probably add more chili powder and maybe put a jalapeno or habanero. Great with sour cream, fresh avocado and tortilla chips.

This is a great recipe. I didn't add nearly as much water as indicated, based on the reviews (maybe only 2 -3 cups), and that made it nice and thick. We ate half and I froze the rest.

This is a good soup that is easy to prepare especially with the use of a lefover rotisserie chicken! It is nice to have such a tasty soup for not having to do a lot of 'babysitting'. With little kids to mind all day, it is great to start it at naptime and let it go till Daddy comes home!

I thought this recipe was very good. I had a lot of compliments on how tasty it was. I cut the liquids in half and used only chicken broth. It was still mostly the consistency of soup rather than chili. I would maybe make a rue next time to thicken it up a little.
