This tortilla soup tastes better than anything you can get at a restaurant. And it's healthy too! Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. All you do is dump everything into the slow cooker and walk away.

I made this before I left for work this morning. Came home to a wonderful smelling house. A couple adjustments. 1)Taco seasoning and tomato paste instead of enchilada sauce and cumin. 2) Dice tomatoes instead of mashing whole. I topped my bowl with a few dollops fat free Greek yogurt.

Just wanted to add that day 3 after making this soup, I still have some leftover (because I am trying really hard not to eat it all at once) and it is all I can think about. I want to make it every day.

I made a couple of small changes. Instead of canned enchilada sauce, I used tomato sauce with taco seasoning. Also threw about half a cup of cornmeal that thickened up the soup a lot and instead of tomatoes, put in small jar of salsa. Topped with cheese, light sour cream and oven toasted tortilla.

This is one of our new favorites! Trying out new recipes and my husband and I both LOVE this one. I have even passed it along to our friends. I used low sodium chicken broth and 7oz can of green chilis--that is all I did differently. GREAT!!!

I used salsa for seasoning, and low-sodium broth and tomatoes. Really delicious and I was happy to find a simple recipe that fits in w/a healthy low carb/high protein style of nutrition. I garnished it w/greek yogurt. Highly recommended

I loved the flavor of the soup, but hated the little fat bubbles floating at the top. I re-made the recipe, but diced and cooked the chicken first.

I didn't have chicken available, so I used half a pound of lean ground beef. Cooked in a skillet first, then just added it to the mixture. That was the only substitution I made, and this recipe is AWESOME. I will be making again!! Thank you so much!

Pretty good, I added some taco mix because it just tasted like it was missing something. Also had to add a lot more salt. It's a very versatile recipe so everyone can make it the way they like it.

This one is a keeper! I am pretty wimpy when it comes to spicy food, so I kept out the chiles and this soup is still very tasty! My husband adds chile powder to spice his soup. Very easy to make! I use the Tyson roasted chicken chunks to make this even easier.

Very yummy. I halved all the ingredients since I'm the only one eating it. After tasting, I added half a packet of taco seasoning to up the flavor and spice. Also I cooked this on a low simmer on the stove for about 5 hours since I don't have a slow cooker.

This was delicious! I ate mine plain but told my husband and son that they could add sour cream, cheese or doritos to it but they said it was so good they didn't need anything extra. Serving size is about 1 1/2 cups and very filling.

This was soooo good! It made so much that I gave about 1/2 the soup to my mothers...they LOVED it. It made so much, even after giving away half of it, that I had leftovers for a week. Good thing it was so good. Will definitely make this again.

This recipe could be better with bone in chicken to better flavor. Then use a jalepeno for spicy and leave out the enchilada sauce. I used dark meet and shredded the chicken at end of cooking, removing bones.

Wonderful recipe! I didn't change it much, added another can of tomatoes and sprinkled taco seasoning on top. Smelled so good, tasted even better. Kids liked it too. Served with shredded cheese and sour cream. I know what I'm having for lunch tomorrow!

Made this today as-is but without the extra salt and pepper. I did add a little potato flakes at the end to thicken it up just a little. Delish!

I tweaked the recipe a bit: used canned corn, cooked & seasoned black beans in a pouch (old el paso), stewed tomatoes, and added 1/2 packet of taco seasoning. It was tender and had great flavor! Hit with whole fam!

Made this last night and it was a big hit. Very good recipe. I was able to make a crockpot full so that I can have some throughout the week if my husband does not eat it first. I added cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and a couple bay leaves. It gave it something extra.

This is super delicious! I also substituted the enchilada sauce and used salsa and taco seasoning. I also used crushed tomatoes. My bf doesn't even like soup and he tried this because he said it smelt so good and he loved it!! Great recipe
