I love this soup and make it often--it's so quick versatile and easy! I add frozen yellow corn black beans (if I have them) and a whole jalapeño or 2 to the mix. Sometimes I use one can diced tomatoes w/ green chilies one can regular diced tomatoes (keeping the juice from both cans) and omit the tomato sauce.
A friend's mother gave me a recipe similar to this one. I use a family size can of soup and do not use the tomato sauce. I "soup" mine up though. I start with chicken breasts(cut in small cubes) onion bell pepper and garlic. Saute these first then add soup and rotel. I also add corn (canned or frozen) and some chopped cilantro right at the end. It is delicious!
This recipe was very delicious and sooooooo easy. I borrowed the idea from another reviewer and added frozen corn, black beans, and also I added about 1/2 a jalepeno, 2 tablespoons of salsa, salt and black pepper, 2 dashes of hot sauce. I like Spicy. It was thick with the added corn and beans, but very hearty and delicious. Thanks for the great recipes. I will make it again. :)
I did add some extra spice to this recipe (chili powder cilantro & juice from a jar of hot chili peppers). This was so easy & very very good. Great for football Sundays'.
This is the best for busy households. It takes longer to prepare than to warm up. And it is a big hit with everyone I serve it too.
I love the idea of using chicken and rice for the base of this soup. Great idea! As per other reviews I went without the tomato sauce and instead doubled the diced tomatoes. Add a can of black beans. Added some spices - cumin chili powder paprika garlic salt black pepper to taste. You can really play around with this recipe to suit your tastes. I'm a from-scratch kind of cook myself but because of how well this turned out I will be taking the shortcut route in the future for tortilla soup. Love it!
It was really good. I added in a lil taco seasoning and avocado....and it was soooooooo YUMMY. My daughter is a Tortilla soup fanatic to begin with and she said it was the best soup she ever had. Thats how she judges Mexican restaurants if their soup is good then shes happy. lol If its not she wont return. So i was pleased cuz she is a rough food critic at times...and shes only 10yrs old. lol
I added the ciltro onion and a squeeze of lemon. This was a quick and easy recipe to prepare. I would recommend this to friend.
My husband and I really liked this recipe. It was easy to make and very good!
