Fabulous! I should disclose I tweaked a couple things- I used steak fingers in place of the chicken, and added the lime juice, green onions and cilantro into the soup as well. I would recommend crushing the tort chips on TOP of the soup after dishing up cause they got soggy instantly once the soup is poured over them.

Absolutely wonderful, easy and so easy to customize, as someone else posted. I used boneless chicken thighs. I agree the chicken could be shredded or cut into bite size pieces. Anything will work. Any type of vegetables could be cut and added.

This soup is so easy and delicious! I used a rotisserie chicken and once I sauted the onion and peppers, I put it all in a crockpot and let it simmer - its great for snacking on throughout the afternoon and evening!
