    Would've given it a 5 star-very very good-but we too halved the spices & it was still too spicy. I'd recommend 1/4 pepper flakes & we didn't even use the cayenne. Great flavor!!! - 10/2/11

    I made this but cut all spices by half. I was very glad I did. It was still more than we like. That being said, I will definitely make this again and adjust the spices a bit more. - 9/25/11

    I tried this recipe this past weekend, and it was hit, even with the picky granddaughter, who's usually hard to please. She ate two bowls full and said, "Ummmm. I'm taking this to school with me tomorrow for lunch." A true testament to the goodness of this chili. - 3/30/09

    I have used a similar recipe just less spices. Great for leftover chicken or turkey. - 3/5/09

    I doubled the recipe, using less chicken and more water, and added a can of green chili peppers. It served 12 people. They all loved it - even the two-year old who made a wonderfully gratifying 'Ahhh' sound after every spponfull! - 3/1/09

    Used white pepper for the black pepper to keep the creamy white texture & appearance & tossed in a can of diced petite tomatos. - 2/25/09

    I have been making this recipe for years. My family loves it. The only difference instead of black pepper my recipe uses white pepper. My kids like to crunch tortilla chips over the soup. Yummy. - 1/8/09
