I agree with the reviewer who asked about the size of the pot being used. This recipe calls for a lot of liquids. Next time I would eliminate 1 can of broth and cut the half & half in half. I think it will result in a great recipe that fits in my 5 quart Dutch oven.
Dana Waters
Excellent recipe and I had all the ingredients on hand. You could add cilantro, green onions, little bit of lime juice and avocado to the top for acid and freshness. Thanks Trisha!

It was ok but too thin.

I’ve made this soup a couple of times now and it is always a hit! My family even brings their own Tupperware to take home! Lol

Delicious! Ingenious to use the fajita seasoning packet, it added so much flavor, we all enjoyed it .
Christopher Moreno
Absolutely wonderful!

While no one was thrilled with “soup” for dinner, there was not a drop left and requested it be made again soon. Easy prep and quick to cook which thrilled me. Might take another viewers suggestion and add some green chiles or jalapenos for a little more heat.
Kara Browning
How large a pot is needed?
Linda Anthony
Soooo yummy! Will make this again. Might add some green chiles next time for more heat, but it was so good as is.
