Perfect Chicken Soup
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family loves this soup. Im pretty sure in the show she uses cumin as well, so I add it. We love cumin in everything... anyway. Even my 2 and 3 year old eat this. Perfect for cold winter monday and it can sit on the stove all day. Its one of my fav Rachel Ray recipes because it doesnt have a million ingredients. Read more

Just Like The Tortilla Soup From My Favorite Mexican Restaurant!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is outstanding. It is almost identical to the one that my family enjoys at our favorite Mexican restaurant here... in southern California. I never would have thought that it could have been duplicated in less than 30 minutes. The only modification that I made was to add a dollop of sour cream on the top of each bowl of soup -- it makes the dish look finished and adds a cooling contrast to the spicy soup. I am adding this recipe to my list of favorites.Read more

Not to be used as an starter
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This soup was excellent, tried to use it as a starter but it was so hearty that it really is a meal all in itself. I made it... for friends along with a main course which we really didn't need. They have actually requested I make it again but this time we are having this "Stoup" all on its own. Simple to make and delicious.Read more
