so the first time i made this recipe i did it with left over turkey from thanksgiving (btw- good eats brined roasted turkey is the best. especially when smoked anyways i used a great organic chicken broth and canned fire roasted tomatoes and fried flour tortillas. i have also done this with a rotisserie chicken that you can get at the store ( this was super easy and fast i have since made it quite often and my husband normally can't stand tortilla soup. i don't puree it and will probably try it this season completely from scratch. but with those shortcuts it is an amazing throw together leftovers soup that takes only 30 minutes to get together. LOVE THIS SOUP

Took FOREVER to prep everytime, but SO well worth it. I did not use a whole chicken. I used 4 chicken breast, about 5.5 lbs and the broth turned out wonderfully. I didn't even used chicken buillons or package chicken broth. I also used tortilla chips instead of making my own. I cooked it for my sick husband and he LOVED it! Instant cure! : I plan on making it again for an upcoming dinner party.

Have used this recipe several times and have yet to be disappointed. We get rave reviews from our customers, some of whom say it is better than the versions they have tried in Mexico. Even if you don't get the measurements exactly, you still come out with a great product. Saw it done on Emerils show one night, reproduced the next day w/o notes, Thanks Big E!

When I made the soup for the first time I used frozen breast chicken from the bag. This cut back about 2 hours of time, I also used one chicken flavoring cube. My family loves this soup. And poor me, my husband loves to take some for work, so I have made this soup at least 5-6 times already.

This soup was great...yes a bit time consuming,but really worth it.Also I roasted my tomatoes in the oven for 10 minutes and pureed them in a blender.Left the rest chunky.I also added roasted corn and black beans at the end.Really good the next day.

There is no quick way to make such a delicious fresh stock.I also spent the time peeling the tomatoes, but skipped frying the tortillas.I used crushed corn tortilla chips in and on top of the soup.I'd make this again..soon!

I also broke up the work on this recipe. Stock one day and the rest on another. Based on another review, I used canned tomatoes and it worked out fine. I put hot green chili in ours and it was great!

This is a FANTASTIC recipe!! Very delicious results...BUT! It took so long, I think I grew 10 new greys while making it. I made the homemade chicken stock (cooked for 2 hours+. I hand peeled tomatoes, 6 of them. I made the homemade corn tortillas and fried them. Very authentic. But, I will never do all of that work again. I will do the chicken the same, for it is worth it when it boils and simmers for 2 hours. Buy the canned tomatoes with chiles, and buy the tortilla chips. Those two things sent me over the edge! Notice on the recipe, it doesn't say how long it takes (prep time, etc...there's a reason they left that off of this recipe!!!

This is a wonderful recipe. It takes quite a bit of time, but well worth the effort. My husband and I love it. I am making it for our Christmas party tomorrow.
