  1. This was ok, but not as flavorful as I'd hoped. I think there are too many tomatoes for my taste. I added some taco seasoning and chili beans to see if that would help, but it still wasn't as good as tortilla soup I've had before.
     
  2. Very yummy and satisfying soup! We've always loved thick, hearty soups like this one. I did throw in about 1/2 tsp of cumin. I like the taste. Thanks for the recipe!
     
  3. I love this soup! It has become a family favorite. Idk when it was posted but I think I’ve been using it for well over a year now. I make it just how the recipe says. If we’ve been bad with food for too many days, I make this and we eat it for a day or 2. It makes our tummy’s happy and let’s us burn off those bad calories.
     
  4. Didn't add the avocado because couldn't find a ripe one. Made it a bit too spicy so i added lemon juice and ketchup to cut out the spice, next time I make i will try it with ground beef and see how it turns out. Couldn't find hominy but it was fine without.
     
  5. Have made a few changes like adding rotel and no hominy. Plus we add extra green chiles and I use one red onion and a sweet yellow onion. Love this soup! Perfect for cold nights. Leftovers are great. Doesn't change consistency. We sometimes freeze some.

  1. YUMMY!!! This is fantastic! I used home made stock instead of the chicken broth and replaced water with the home made stock, too. VERY GOOD. Even my little ones enjoyed this.
     
  2. This was very easy to put together. I used a couple tablespoons of white rice instead of hominy, and also added some cumin. I didn't have any avocados or jack cheese but did top with cheddar and tortilla strips. The flavor was very good but I would like a bit more heat, so next time I make it I'll probably increase the chili powder and maybe add a bit of cayenne. Reheated well the next day for lunch. Definitely a keeper, thanks for sharing!!
     
  3. Made this for work today. Used rice instead of hominy. Everyone LOVED it! I was impressed that it was low in calories. Thanks for sharing.
     
  4. I made this according to directions, but doubled! I added a can of green chille enchilada sauce as well. Next time I might leave out the black beans, and use salsa instead of the tomatoes and the oinon, saving a step. This was a great soup, and it was even better the next day! Thanks for a great recipe I will make over and over!
     
  5. Made this tonight, one of the first days of fall weather - it was wonderful. I substituted pinto beans for the black & left out the clilantro it was still delicious.
