Introduction

We went to the local Mexican restaurant to satisfy my husband's chicken tortilla soup craving, but it didn't hit the spot. He asked me to make some for him, which I did (this recipe). With each bite, he moaned, "Mmmmm, Mmmmmm." He says it's excellent. I garnish it with a slice of lime (which is a necessity), avocado slices, grated cheddar cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips.

    This is too big a recipe, I tried for a 4 serving batch, it was too hard to whip the cream. - 8/8/19

    Incredible!
    I hope you enjoy my chicken tortilla soup. My husband says it's better than what he's had at most restaurants. I definitely think coriander and lime make a huge difference. - 7/21/18
