   First off- GOOD STUFF! Thanks so much. I am glad I found you.
   I’m such a baby about food- trying to get better. But was excited to have a recipe w/o tomato. The blending was key. I bought my first onion ever for this meal. Had it not been blended I would’ve skipped right over your recipe b/c I know it’s an important flavor here (normally I skip every onion) So I’d never had this before. and it was very good. My husband and daughter loved it as well! Perfect for a Taco Tuesday that is super cold (for us). I topped it with some baked seasoned tortilla strips. (from bakedbyrachel). Loved this meal! THANKS!

   I used this as a base and modified it a lot, but it was sooooo good! I was looking for a non-tomato tortilla soup and this was what popped up. Thank you for sharing your recipe!!! Everyone raved about it. (I charred all the veggies under the broiler instead of gentle saute, then simmered with bone in chicken thigh, carrot and celery)

   Fantastic soup!

   Do you know how many calories for 1 cup of soup….no toppings?

   This recipe is the closest I’ve ever tasted to Houston’s restaurant chicken tortilla soup, my favorite. So easy to make and so delicious! Almost all pantry ingredients, too! Love, love with avocado…thanks so much!

   Oh my, this is the best tasting tortilla soup I’ve ever had! I had made some chicken stock this morning and went searching for tortilla soup recipe and found this— this will be a regular meal! It would be great to take to work. Thank you!

   My soup finished out red and not the color of the soup in the photo. If you don’t want red tortilla soup, omit the chili powder.

   This is INCREDIBLY YUMMY! Outback restaurant changed thier Chicken Tortilla soup recipe a few years ago. We had been eating it a couple times a week for a few years, so we noticed right away that something was different. I’ve been hoping to make my own ever since, but all recipes had tomatoes, or black beans, or corn, and I didn’t want any of that. This recipe is absolutely spot on. Plus I make my own chicken stock and it’s wonderfully flavorful. I am in live with this soup recipe. A keeper for sure. Thank you for sharing it.

    I’ve been craving chicken tortilla soup and had my eye on this recipe for a while now, so glad the weather finally cooled so that we could try it out. One of the all time best soup recipes I’ve ever made and by far the best tortilla soup I’ve ever tasted! So good!

    For many years whenever I was feeling poorly for one reason or another my late husband, without me even saying a word, would appear with a big bowl of my very favorite tortilla soup from the one restaurant who made it according to that particular recipe.

    Sadly, the restaurant closed after a fire, my husband passed away, and I have had countless servings of tortilla soup, but until I tried your recipe today, not one that satisfied my craving. It brought back some wonderful memories and it was delicious, too. Thank you!

    Omg, so, so tasty. I also wanted to lick the bowl clean! I have never made a tortilla soup I like as much as this. Cooking the veggies and blending is key! So much flavor. I forwarded it to all my friends.

    This is excellent. I added half of a fresh jalapeno to the other vegetables. I was prepared to adjust the heat with cayenne at the end but it was the perfect heat level. I used only 6 C. of chicken stock. I poached a large chicken breast half, shredded it, and seasoned it with salt, pepper, and a little garlic powder. It was presented to be put in the bowl first, topped with the soup, and garnished with crumbled tortilla chips, fresh cilantro leaves, cubed avocado, sour cream and lime wedges.
    Big hit!

    Please give your friend Rachel Q a hug and tell her that the internet loves her. My wife and made this tonight for the first time and doubled it at the last minute. This is exactly the consistency and flavor profile I’ve been searching for. They serve this exact soup at The Chop House in Dayton, OH. We used yellow bell pepper and only added 2.5qts of broth. I made the mistake of using Vidalia onions and it was slightly sweet…took me a few minutes to figure it out but I will use yellow or white onions next time. 5 stars! Thank you so much!

18. Bella Valenzuela — Sat, 30 Jan 2021 @ 18:24:52 EST Reply

    I just made this recipe and it turned out AMAZING!! It fed the 6 people I had over and everyone loved it. It reminded me of the chicken enchilada soup from Zupas in Utah. Sooooo good. I ended up adding another red bell pepper and green chili’s to the mix before blending. Also added the cayenne and only one tablespoon of salt. Once it was blended, I added the chicken along with a can of corn and a can of black beans!!! Soooooo yummy I’m excited to make this again!!!

    • Christy Denney — Thu, 11 Mar 2021 @ 01:44:57 EST Reply

      So glad you liked it. I actually went to Zupas today!

19. Vickie — Sun, 15 Nov 2020 @ 20:33:01 EST Reply

    Loved this recipe. I used the white corn tortillas and the red pepper because I happened to have them. It’s a pretty orange color and tastes remarkably like a chicken enchilada soup Chili’s used to have which I loved! Highly recommend.

    5 star…a crowd pleaser and so easy, Added one medium can of fire roasted tomatoes w/out juice and some diced sautéed carrots. Had avocado, tortilla strips, green chiles, sour cream, cilantro, limes, and hot sauce for customizing . Family of all ages loved this recipe, Thank you, Christy.

    Last fall we add this soup to our little restaurant’s menu. It was a huge hit! The only change we made is replaced half of the salt with season salt and add a hint of smoked chipotle powder. Customer’s beg for it when we rotate it out during summer months. Bringing it back this week! Thank you for a winning recipe!

    Oh my goodness this is GOOOOD!!! I added corn, tomatoes, beans and a diced jalapeño at the end and it wasn’t even necessary…I skipped the chicken, sour cream and cheese cause the meat products don’t sit well with me…I also added a taco season and lemon pepper seasons which seemed to kick the flavor up a notch…will re make again and again!

    Hi quick question if anyone can answer!
    My grocery trip today proved successful for toilet paper and all other necessities (for the first time in a while) BUT the store was wiped out of corn tortillas (???) Is there any way flour would work or should I use hard corn taco shells?

    • Christy Denney — Fri, 10 Apr 2020 @ 23:04:37 EDT Reply

      Sorry! Flour tortillas will just get mushy. Maybe taco shells?

    • Cathy — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 @ 12:50:46 EST Reply

      In my area there’s little bags of pre-made bags of tortilla strips in the produce section with other salad toppings. That may be a good substitute.

    A great soup the house is filled with devine smells .

    I did make extra and substituted a red and yellow peppers for green. . We also added two jalapenos . A bit of a kick for sure . Yum

    I really liked this recipe but made a few changes as I am want to do (my husband has learned to accept that as the norm). I only used about 3/4 t. salt and even found that too salty. I also like more of a chunky soup so I added a can of corn and a sauteed diced red pepper along with the chicken. One last thing – I forgot to use the olive oil but I don’t think that made a difference.

29. Dayna — Sat, 16 Mar 2019 @ 20:42:13 EDT Reply

    This soup is IT!!! I mean, like, the bomb!!! So yummy. So easy. I did add some Pico de Gallo garnish to give that one in a while warmer bite.
    Here’s another idea: I split the soup base into 1 cup containers and froze. Froze some sour cream, cilantro, pico de Gallo, and cheese (individually, not mixed together) in silicone ice trays. Froze chicken, lime wedge, tortilla strips, avocado, and 1 or 2 of each of the flavored “ice cubes” into freezer bags. Now just grab a base and a bag and quick easy delicious lunch is ready in no time flat!!!!

    I made this tonight and it is amazing! I already had a favorite chicken tortilla soup recipe but thought I’d try this since you recommended it so highly. I’m so glad I did. The addition of the corn tortillas and then blending it all made for a very rich and flavorful soup. My family agreed that this will be our new go-to Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe!

    I’m always on a lookout for a good beet recipe since much has been said about the benefits of this veggie. But somehow, no matter how I make it, it doesn’t really tickle my taste bone.

    • Christy {The Girl Who Ate Everything} — Wed, 10 Apr 2013 @ 14:55:21 EDT Reply

      Linda,
      Flour tortillas are not the same as corn. Corn tortillas are essential to the flavor of this. Flour will taste totally different. Corn tortillas are more yellow in color and have a different texture and flavor. Good luck!

    Very good. I wonder if you have tried Ina Garten’s Mexican Chicken soup. Similar to this and I always have to come back to it. I do add red bell pepper instead of green, to hers and yours. Spices are similar except she has coriander (the seed of the cilantro plant) in hers, which makes for a very unique flavor and doesn’t taste like cilantro. Also, I add queso fresco as a garnish with the others.

46. Ruth McCoy — Sun, 17 Mar 2013 @ 01:25:18 EDT Reply

    I’ve made this delicious soup like twice already and what I love most about it is that it’s super easy! My teenage daughter (need I say more) isn’t fond of meat theses days so I just subbed a bag of frozen veggies (it has to have zucchini) and added one can of diced, seasoned tomatoes. Shared some with my foodie co-worker and she practically licked the bowl!

    Oh, my god!!! I was looking to use up the two rotisserie chickens we had, since they needed to be eaten, and I came across this recipe after a google search. It looked and sounded so good and, of course, I thought maybe it was a typical scenario of the pictures of the food making it look better than what it really is… Then I scanned over the reviews and since EVERYONE WAS RAVING ABOUT IT, I was convinced to give it a try! I am SO GLAD I DID!!! THIS SOUP IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL AND HEALTHY!!! =D Thank you so much for sharing your creation and expertise!!! My dad, sisters, and boyfriend all LOVED IT!!! My oldest sister and I are Massage Therapists and my dad is a Chiropractor and since we see all kinds of people, I have been sharing my results and your recipe with them and on Facebook!

    Thanks for posting this…I think I have the ingredients on hand and so we will be having this for dinner tonight! I LOVE all things involving lime and cilantro (and sour cream, etc. etc.). And I already have a chunky chicken taco soup recipe that is a staple at my house. This is very different, and sounds really good!

    What a really fun idea! You were right when you said it gets better mid-way through 🙂

    Awesome!!!! Thank you. I can’t wait to try this because I have the same thought as you with Chicken Tortilla soup being a broth based and not full of tomatoes etc. I used to go to a little Mexican Restaurant locally just for their Chicken Tortilla Soup and then they changed owners and changed their soup recipe. Since then I haven’t gone back because what was really REALLY good was changed to ick.

    I personally favor chicken over any other meat, so I was immediately drawn to this. I cannot wait to try this; it looks delicious!

    Oh. My. Geez. I can’t even begin to tell you my excitement for this!! I’ve been searching for a recipe for chicken tortilla soup. We have a Mexican restaurant here that serves it and it is my absolute FAVORITE! I get upset when I go to any of the other Mexican restaurants in town because they’re of the mindset that chicken tortilla soup is like taco soup and should be chockfull of meat and veggies and not brothy and liquid gold. The only thing that seems different is the restaurant here serves it with some Mexican melty white cheesy goodness, not like the liquid already melted queso, but the white cheese that melts all gorgeously. Oh man. I’m jazzed about this if you couldn’t tell! Thanks Christy!!

    Holy delicious dinner! Brace yourselves.. Let me start with stating that this is the 1st time I\’ve ever commented on any recipe! This is THE best Tortilla Soup, EVER! Like…Restaurant Good! No, wait…BETTER than that. However good you think it is going to be, multiply that by at least 10! My only disappointment? That I didn\’t make more! I will say that I don\’t own a blender (not really sure why?). But I do own a little smoothie-maker-thing. So, I separated the onions, peppers, tortillas & anything else that wouldn\’t go through a slotted spoon and put that in my smootie-maker-think (blender) (after it had cooled). After I had it all blended, I \”cooked\” it back into the broth. Ahhhhhhmazing!
