Loved it, wish I would have added corn and zucchini. I did omit the sugar (hubby doesn't like sweet foods) will make again!

Good tasting soup, but VERY different than Applebee's Chicken Tortilla Soup.....color not the same. Applebee's has corn, carrots, red bell pepper and other veggies this does not have. Not even close to their soup.

My mother declares this heavenly. I thought it was very unique, but there was too much onion in it for me. It was probably the size of my onions; next time I'll use smaller ones. Thanks for the recipe, I'll definitely be using it again. :)

This recipe is awesome!!I made it for me and a friend and we both loved it!! She raved about it for weeks and begs me to make it all the time. I didnt use jalapeno's in it because i dont like spicy but I did add more hot sauce for a little bit of a zing. I also used about 12oz of velveeta cheese for a heartier version and instead of corn tortillas I used flour because they baked better....overall this is very very YUMMY!

Great! I added a 1/2 cup corn, and substituted Monterey Jack for the processed cheese. I baked the tortillas in the oven. This was wonderful.
