Southwestern Chicken Soup

This recipe was amazing! I switched the tomato sauce for rotel diced tomatos. Also, someone mentioned that it didn't have any flavor. Even though the recipe doesn't call for it, I suggest that you season the chicken before you brown it. I used cumin, adobo, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper to season the chicken. Doing that might add the flavor you were looking for.

Plain, simple, and yummy. It was less spicy than I'd anticipated, and it doesn't have much bulk (b/c there's no rice or beans), but it was nice with sour cream and corn chips. I did take the advice of other reviewers and sauteed the chicken in a garlic/spice seasoning, which was nice. If I hadn't done this, I think it would have been too bland for our tastes.

Very good, made with my homemade chicken broth and the cut up chicken from the whole chicken. Would make again.

I loved this recipe - I made a few minor adjustments - browned a couple slices of bacon, crumbled in and browned the chicken the grease - also used two 10.5 ou cans of diced tomatoes with green chillies rather than seperate cans - it was wonderful - a little hot but great remedy for the winter sinus sufferers - I'm from the south so I put bacon in just about everything and may even try this with a little frozen okra. Thanks for the great recipe !

This is a really tasty soup and easy to fix. The only change I made to the recipe was to substitute a can of Original Rotel for the green chilies since I had Rotel on hand. I'll certainly be making this again.

My husband and I found this pretty good. It does need something. I add more garlic and more stock. Might make again.

double the seasonings next time and be sure to have sour cream and tortilla chips

Very good. I made this following the recipe exactly and everyone loved it. Next time I think I will add a little less jalepenos because hubby said it was a little hot for him, but tasted great! Will definitely make again.

Very good! I, too, used a can of Rotel instead of diced tomatoes. I also added some chili powder, red pepper flakes and used jalapenos instead of diced chiles. I love spicy!

GREAT! I used diced tomatoes with green chili's for a little kick. Will def. make again. Thanks!!

This was good. I added 1 can of drained black beans and 1 tsp of minced garlic. I also omitted the peppers and chilies for my kids. They loved it and so did my husband and I. Will definately make again!

Southwestern Chicken Soup Haiku: "Needs a little oomph. I gave a nibble halfway, then added some stuff." I gave the soup a slurp after a few hours, and while very good, I felt that it needed some more flavor - so I threw in a handful of cilantro, and a hefty scoop of AR's "Taco Seasoning I" and it ended up being a fabulous soup. (Oh I also cubed my chicken, not strips.) Like other reviewers, I think it could really shine w/ some black beans too, so when I make it again, I'll do just that, as well as w/ my other small additions. If it thickened up a bit more, I imagine it bordering on chili and rockin' w/ some cheese and sour cream on top too.

Excellent and easy!

This is basically the same recipe I have making for a few years. I double the chicken and boil the breasts and use that seasoned stock along with additional broth. I also use diced tomatoes with green chiles and two to three chopped serrano peppers instead of the reg and green peppers. I alos add two cans drained black beans and two cans of pinto beans. I do cook my onion, peppers, fresh garlic and cumin seeds in oil before adding other ingredients. I also add cilantro toward the end of cooking. This so good on a cold day but its even better the next day after all of the seasonings have blended well.

For more flavor, I used 2-10 ounce cans of Rotels instead of the tomatoes and green chilies. Also I added two teaspoons of chili powder, and before cooking the chicken, I seasoned the chicken with southwest seasoning. This combination gives this soup quite a kick.

quick and easy to make. I left out the tomato soup and it was still very good, tastes even better the second day.

SO YUMMY!!!!!!!!

We are going to try adding black beans with the recipe next time. But overall, we really liked this.

Just Ok - not enough flavor. My family suggested I delete this one from my recipe box.

I made this in between working two 12 hour shifts. Thanks for the easy recipe. My kids loved it too.

This was delicious and simple to prepare. I added a few tablespoons of BBQ sauce, some soy sauce, and mixed vegetables. I also followed other commenters recommendations and added extra garlic salt, some garlic powder, and chili powder. It was wonderful served with tortilla chips and sour cream.

This is the best tasting soup.
