This way way better than I expected. Roasting the breasts are the way to go. Very simple and thats what makes it so delish. I used the leftover corn tortillas to make baked chips to crumble in the soup. Cut tortillas into wedges, brush front and back with oil and bake 350 for about 15-20 minutes.

I have made this soup a couple of times now and it is excellent just the way it is written. This time however I took some liberties with it and added a little smoked paprika and also a tiny bit of chipotle powder. It gives the soup a slightly smokey flavor which worked really well. I also added some super sweet corn this time and it gives a lovely sweetness, especially with the bit of smoke flavor. Always follow the recipe the first time around, then have fun with it and make it your own.

Easy to make soup with great flavor. I made it exactly as the recipe was written and I wouldn't change a thing. Even better the next day.

Very good. I followed the recipe exactly as written, and will make the following changes next time: I could use about half the chicken; we like lots of the soupy part of soup and there was plenty of flavor without so much chicken. I will cut way back on the carrots; we just prefer fewer. And last, I won't thicken with the tortillas - or maybe just use half as many. It sounds like I'm picking nits, and I really am, because it was a very good soup. PS: I froze the remainder for about 3 weeks and it was better the second time. A very good recipe.

Delish! Added almost double the spice, used crushed tomatoes (what I had, and added 8-9 tortillas in soup which made it nice and thick. I fried the remaining tortillas in strips for garnish along with the sour cream, cheese & avocado. Will definitely make again and add hominy which would make it even heartier.

Awesome! Quite possibly the best tortilla soup I have tasted. I used leftover roast chicken, white and dark meat, and it turned out great! I only used two large jalapenos, which I am sure added flavor, but not a lot of heat. Hopefully this way my kids will eat it, though I think it would be even better to go with 3 or 4 to make it a bit more spicy. Definitely worth making again!
