I make it exactly how you said except that I use two normal sized cans of tomato sauce (14 oz). It was an accident because I assumed thats the size that was called for. I love it, and I'll keep using the 14 oz. It gives it a great taste. Frequently, my entire family asks for this tortilla soup! - 6/24/13

This recipe looks really good! My husband doesn't like spicy foods, so I'll have to omit the jalapeno pepper, but I'm looking forward to trying it out soon! - 5/25/09

Considering how much it makes the one pepper does nothing for making it too spicy. In fact my wife and In-Laws are all non-spicey and cannot get enough of the soup.

I don't see an option for editing this so I have to leave a comment here. During step 4 is when the spices are added as well. I also used some of the ingredients listed here. I think one of those must have been high in sodium as it can certainly be made with lower sodium than listed.
