Made for ZWT-8 Family Picks, I made a half recipe of this soup exactly as written for 2 of us. This soup is good, but mostly for what you put into it - the crispy tortilla strips & the cheese. The soup itself is rather bland & it needs the cheese for flavour & crispy tortilla strips for texture. The other reviewer mentioned sour cream which I'm sure helped to a degree, but my thought is that a generous amt of lime juice would add the zing it needs. It definitely should be eaten as soon as assembled or the tortilla strips will lose their crunch. The desired golden brown colour happened faster than I expected, so mine were a darker than desired brown colour (my bad). I'll be "playing" w/your recipe to see if my instincts are on track. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

This makes a yummy soup though I did use a tin of tomato soup plus one of the broth as I had no fresh tomatoes in the house. I put sour cream and lots of black pepper on top. Those little fried tortilla strips are addictive ! Made for Zingo.

I have a Farmers Market stand where I sell breads and sweets. I am really enjouing my stand, as I get to make all kinds of breads, although the sweets are the big attraction! I am married to theworlds  most wonderful man, have an aan amazingly  brilliant child (of course I would say that!).  In short, I am a verry happy, cheerful woman. Baking bread is my passion, but I love to cook anything.  I have two great dogs, Jack and Lucy, a black lab and a boxer/pitbull mix, respectively. My rating system; 5 stars= great, had fun making it and will make again 4= made some changes as the recipe needed tweaking 3= probably will not make again I will not post a 2 or 1 star rating, I'd rather post the review with no stars and share some possible fixes:)
