Crowd pleaser!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have been on the lookout for a soup to take to my family's upcoming annual soup party- I found this recipe yesterday and... tried it this evening. I made it for myself and my parents, we all thought it was wonderful! It was a very easy to make... I used Chipotle hot sauce which gave the soup a nice, smoky flavor. I also added a can of corn (drained, of course!) because I think it goes well with Mexican-style dishes. I also thought the soup was very hearty- great for an October evening! This is definitely what I will take to the party!Read more

Oh Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had to use ground chorizo, as I could not find the kind Rachael used. I also, accidentally, added two cans of roasted... tomatoes and it was still very thick and stoup like! I cooked my chicken breast in the oven with just a bit of evoo and then shredded them when they were cooled. My husband fell in love with chorizo while on our honeymoon in Mexico so I keep my eye for recipes that use chorizo. This stoup was a huge hit! I can't wait to make it for the rest of the family.

Quick and Yummy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Great Recipe. Used smoked sausage instead of chorizo. Also boiled the chicken and shredded it with my hands instead of using... chunks. Came out delicious!!! Wish it was more spicy thoughRead more
