This is by far my favorite recipe from Ina's kitchen. My husband is a meat and potatoes man and the first time I was going to make this soup he turned his nose up at it saying, "soup, for dinner?" After I made the soup, I kid you not, he asked for seconds! I've made it several times now and it has become a family favorite. We decided to do a Cinco de Mayo family dinner this year. This was the dish that I was asked, no begged to make. I have added freshly grilled corn cut right off the cob to my soup. Thank you Ina, you're the best!

I cut the recipe in half, as we are only 3, all of whom eat lightly. Still had left-overs. Wonderful flavor here -- we don't like things too spicy, so I used the lower amount of jalapeno and it was wonderful. Served with an extra, warmed tortilla along side. I can see how adding black beans and corn would work very well if you wanted more carbs in it. Looking forward to those left-overs!

Made this soup for my husband and he said it was the best I have every made. Very flavorful. We like things spicy so next time I will not remove all the seeds in 1 of the jalapenos. But overall the soup was just great!!!

I like her version. The addition of the corn tortillas were just the right amount to thicken the soup. I added a teaspoon of dried oregano during cooking, and a couple of splashes of lime juice to the pot of finished soup. Yummy!

Very good flavor. I also added black beans and corn. I browned two large chicken breasts in my soup pot to get those delicious crusts in the bottom of the pot and finished baking in the oven..Juices from that pan were added back to the soup pot along with the chicken...skin on and bone in. While I was browning the onion/celery/carrot/jalapeno's I tossed in the cumin, corriander, and added ancho chili powder....pardon the spelling....to wake up the powders. my goodness, great flavor. Tossed the cilantro in just before serving. Hope it helps my first cold of the winter go away quickly. Definitely a keeper.

Wow - what an incredibly EASY & SIMPLE soup to make, but packs a lot of flavor and taste! Like others, I added corn & black beans, but wanting to thicken the broth a little bit and lacking tomato paste, I used the whole 5.5 oz can of V-8 juice to the soup and I think that too added a bit of punch to the soup. Will definitely make this again!

This soup is awesome!!! We recently had a chicken soup contest at work, we all sign up to bring a pot. Offer tastings and staff vote. Then we sell bowls with proceeds going to our local animal shelter. This is the first time I have made this soup it was so great, I didn't win the contest but I did come in second with multiple people asking me for the recipe. I added black beans and white sweet corn to make it a little heartier, it was so good I am making it for my family today! Thank you Ina, for this wonderful recipe.

Everything about this soup was fantastic. I was afraid the jalepeno would be too hot, but it was not. I also added corn. Great recipe.
