Winner every time...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe countless times (most times using bulk ground sausage in place of chorizo) and people just love it. You... can make it as spicy or non-spicy as you like it, or as thick or thin as you like it, but the ingredients ring true no matter what and this one's a crowd pleaser. If you want a slam-dunk, this recipe is it!Read more

Super delicious!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

One of my favorite soup recipes! So delicious and very filling. We are a family of four- 2 adults and 2 small kids and this... was more than enough. One bowl was more than enough for each of us with plenty for leftovers. I omitted the red bell peppers since we don't like them. I also used just a few dashes of Tabasco rather than 2 teaspoons of hot sauce since our little girls are still pretty sensitive to spicy food. I highly recommend this! You won't regret it! Read more

This is my third time making this soup and I must say it is always a success. I added my own little twist, smoked turkey... sausage along with the chicken and Chorizo. It gives it a smokey flavor! My kids love this soup. I topped it with cheese and tortillo strips and ran it under the broiler. Then topped it with fresh scallions and cilantro. WOW!Read more

I didn't have any potatoes so I substituted with corn. Turned out very good and will definitely use this recipe again!
