Chicken Tortilla Soup

I LOVE this recipe. I've made it many times. I did however change a few things so I didn't have to run to the store. Instead of a can of tomatoes and a can of green chilies, I use 2 cans of rotel(i love tomatoes) I also use fresh cilantro instead of dried. and i put way more than a tablespoon in. I think it adds great flavor!

I brought this to a staff potluck lunch once and am asked to make it every time! Even those that said they're not 'soup' people loved it. So easy and delicious!

This has got to be the best tortilla soup I have ever made, it was spicy and I love spicy! I changed it just a little depending on what I had on hand, but the items were not enough to change the recipe taste, at least I don't think it would have. Instead of onion I used shallots, and I used fire roasted diced tomatoes (blended them because I don’t like chunks of tomatoes). Because I didn’t have time to make cooked chicken I used raw chicken and diced it up and threw it in with all the items in the crock pot. I served this with Mexican Cheese instead of Parmesan, which just made this so much better! Thanks for the recipe!

This was wonderful! I omitted the corn and added a can of pinto beans instead. I also used a can of green salsa instead of green chilies. I shredded tortillas in a bowl, ladled the soup in and topped with crushed tortilla chips, parmesean cheese, and sour cream. I recommend this to everyone!!

Great recipe for Sunday football. Husband LOVED it and ate to excess. Added green pepper, and jalapenos for extra kick.

This soup was amazing!! It has quickly become mine and my husband's favorite crock pot recipe. It's quick and easy too which I love.

Fabulous and very easy to make! I put the chicken in while still frozen and shredded it about one hour before serving. I also put in black beans and substituted hominy for the corn. Every bite my Husband took he made a comment on how good it was. He asked me when I plan on making this again. I know it will be soon.

I left out the corn and the cilantro. Garnished with Monterey Jack cheese. It was a hit with my family and very easy.

This soup is great. My husband loves it and it gets better with age. We'd probably like it even better with a little more spice but it is great!

My husband considers himself an expert on chicken tortilla soup and says this recipe is among the best he's tasted! It's become a favorite in our house.

This recipe was amazing! I took the corn out, and added more chiles. I also fried the tortilla strips on the stove top, which was wonderful. After it was finished I garnished it with avocado, cheese, lime and cilantro. I also left the crock pot on overnight on warm, so it simmered and was even better the next day...I also bought the already made rotisserie chicken from the store and shredded it to cut time. I'm making it again tonight!!

I have made this a number of times for family and friends. They have all asked for the recipe. For the enchilada sauce I use 1/2 red (spicy) and 1/2 green (mild). I also do not add cilantro to the soup and just have a small bowl as a condiment for people to add as they wish. Instead of baking the tortilla chips, I serve the soup with bought tortilla chips, chopped tomatoes, chopped avocados and grated cheddar cheese. Delicious!!

I used to pick up tortilla soup from a restaurant nearby every week but this soup was fabulous and my craving was satisfied with this. Also my kids and one of their picky friends loved it!

This recipe is out of this world! And, my husband couldn't get enough, to boot! I'll definitely be making this often.
