I made this soup a meal by adding some chopped chicken instead of the mushrooms (my kids won't eat mushrooms). Also added a little processed american cheese instead of the cotija to make it more kid friendly. It was yummy.




Bland at first

Fresh off the stove, this soup was bland (as are most quick-cooking soup recipes). I made the recipe as written, except I incorporated cilantro into the soup rather than reserving it as a garnish. I also omitted the cheese garnish. After the soup was allowed to sit for a little while, it became more flavorful and I liked it better, but overall this one is too high in fat and calories to make regularly.




Surprisingly good

I wasn't sure about this soup, but I am so glad I tried it. The flavor was surprisingly good. I really appreciated how quick and easy it was to do on a week night too. We had never tried Mexican crema or cotija cheese, but both were very good. Instead of Mexican seasonings I used Southwest seasonings from Penzey's that I already had on hand; it seemed about the same as Sandra Lee described on her show.
