Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I made this for my husband and I last night. WE LOVED IT! The only different thing I did was use Hot Ro-tel. It was the perfect ammount of spice. I will be making this quite often! Thank you!!

This is the best tortilla soup recipe I have found so far - I've changed all the beef stuff to chicken instead (using canned chicken and chicken broth). I also use serano and anaheim peppers to give it more spice. Once you make it once, you can tweak it to your needs - it's fantastic!

Great recipe, it was a sure hit for sure! i added some garlic to the mixture...and used more taco seasoning than it called for (i like spicy/zesty flavor!)...it really did turn out awesome, people helped themselves to 2nds and 3rds...~!
