I chose to make this because it looked quick and easy. It was that, but I guess you get out of it what you put into it. <br /> <br />The instructions were not very descriptive - just sort of throw stuff in the pot and let it simmer. The problem is, the corn tortillas came apart and made the soup a gooey mess. The flavors were overpowered by this goo, and generally it wasn't very good. <br /> <br />I give it 2 stars because I'll leave room for doubt that I made this right, AND that it's really my fault for trying to go the easy route.
