    It was all right. I think next time I'm going to try and sautee the onion because it came out too crunchy and was distracting from the other flavors/textures in the soup. It was also more watery than I expected. I might try some of the other user's variations with sour cream and such next time too. - 1/18/14

    I thought it was great. I did replace the water with chicken stock and I used less green chiles. Overall it was great and I would cook it again. I used the crockpot. - 11/4/14

    This was very good. I used a tub of sour cream and chive cream cheese b/c it's what I had on hand. I also added 4 chicken bouillon cubes and quite a bit of crushed red pepper to taste. - 3/17/13

    This is amazing! I didn't have time to put it in the crock pot, so I just boiled the first four ingredients for about a half an hour. This is now my new favorite soup!!!! - 7/25/12

    This was great! I left out the salsa and heavy cream, added an extra can of green chillies. This is by far, one of the best soups I have had. Also, I couldn't wait to make it, so I didn't use a crock pot, simmered for about an hour on stove top. YUM YUM! - 11/10/11
