Easy Tortilla Soup

Quite tasty for generic ingredients. I made it as directed and there was too much a tomatoey taste. I made it again tonight and left out the tomato sauce and it came out perfect.

With lots of tweaks, this is a great, easy soup. But I’m sorry, as written, I didn’t like it. The condensed soup is so thick and salty without adding any water. I added two full cans of water, and that helped immensely. I also added chili powder and cumin, a can of corn, and a can of black beans rinsed and drained. After eating one bowl, I decided it needed a cup of cut-up chicken as well. As directed, I put chips in the bottom of the bowl and topped with cheese. After all this, it was yummy.

I was stunned when I, on a lark, looked up a tortilla soup & saw it was “made by Sikes” as My last name is Sikes!! Who would of thought? Anyway, great soup but I changed it by adding whole kernel white corn, Mexican rice, cubed peeled potatoes, sliced avocado, diced onion, chopped green onion, finely diced garlic, diced tomatoes, using chicken base for my broth, shredded chicken breast, deep fried corn tortillas & putting shredded cheeses on it after serving it up . *Not using cilantro (personal choice) but a tsp of cumin, salt, pepper & garlic salt. I’m forgetting something but will edit & add it here when I go back to my list. Thank you “Sikes”!

Five stars! Awesome recipe, so easy to make and you can add some ingredients like fresh corn and or black beans to make it your way. Only a few ingredients needed and you have tasty hot soup in minutes! Sandy

So so super quick and easy!! Added 1 can chicken broth, mixed beans, corn, and hominey! I will be making this over and over!

I made this for an open house and everyone loved it! I used mild tomatoes with green chilis and added a bit of garlic. I also crunched a few chips on top and added the cheese instead of pouring the soup over. I had many people ask for the recipe and a few said it was like the tortilla soup at the fancy restaurant downtown. It was so easy, too, and few ingredients.

Delicious and super easy!

Great flavor, and fast to make! I used tortilla chips with a hint of lime for even extra flavor. I also would recommend adding lime to the soup to kick it up even more. Great recipe!

I love the idea of using chicken and rice for the base of this soup. Great idea! As per other reviews, I went without the tomato sauce and instead doubled the diced tomatoes. Add a can of black beans. Added some spices – cumin, chili powder, paprika, garlic salt, black pepper to taste. You can really play around with this recipe to suit your tastes. I’m a from-scratch kind of cook myself, but because of how well this turned out, I will be taking the shortcut route in the future for tortilla soup. Love it!

Pretty good as is, but I added some spices (ground cumin and chili powder) as well as corn and beans in the end to spice it up a little bit. Then it was a little bitter, so I added some brown sugar, and it was delightful!

It was really good. I added in a lil taco seasoning and avocado….and it was soooooooo YUMMY. My daughter is a Tortilla soup fanatic to begin with and she said it was the best soup she ever had. Thats how she judges Mexican restaurants, if their soup is good, then shes happy. lol If its not, she wont return. So i was pleased cuz she is a rough food critic at times…and shes only 10yrs old. lol

Very easy to make and tastes very good! I served with cheese quesadillas and my husband loved it!

I needed a quick, yummy soup to feed my very hungry husband for dinner. To be honest I didn’t think this was going to any good at all, I thought it was way too easy to be good. But I made it, and we instantly fell in love with this soup. Our new favorite! I’m glad becuase it was so easy too. I accidently put a can of chicken noodle soup in, but we liked the noodles in it. This recipe is a keeper forever!

it was good and easy to make

I added corn, black beans and left over shredded pork. It was delicious. I would like to see the nutritional info without the chips and cheese.

Oh so easy and really good! I followed some other reviews and added a small can of corn, a can of pinto beans and the last of our Thanksgiving turkey “finally!”. It sat for a couple days to let the flavors marry and when heating it for dinner I added just a little chicken broth to thin it out. Will definitely make this again – thanks for the recipe!!

This is certainly easy — and yummy too! I did add black beans and some frozen yellow corn, but otherwise I kept the recipe the same. My whole family loved it! (My husband doesn’t care for tomatoes and we didn’t find this recipe overly tomato-y.) I also made this for a friend who’d had surgery and her whole family loved it too. Will most certainly make again and again….

For a 5 minute meal, this soup is great! Even the kids liked it.

Excellent recipe. I added my own cooked chicken and used shredded ‘Mexican’ cheese and lime tortilla chips. Yum. This one’s a keeper. Sooooo easy.

LOVED this recipe! Tasted like restaurant quality soup! We added some chopped bell peppers and cooked rice to tailor it to our tastes–phenomenal!

Mine came out EXTREMELY thick, like jambalaya. I added about a cup of water to make it more of a soupy consistency. I also added cilantro, chili powder, corn, and black beans. This recipe is a good start.
