This soup is amazing! So flavorful and easy to make. My family loved it!
Isn’t chicken soup supposed to be white and creamy? This ain’t it! Disappointed.
I added some cheese on top and it was delish! Cheese makes everything better.
Best recipe ever!! Can’t stop making it on repeat! The kids go nuts for it.
Highly recommend! Just remember to keep an eye on it while simmering!
Yummm, cilantro is the secret. Makes everything fresh! 💚
Totally agree! Cilantro adds that fresh zing! 🌱 Can’t wait to try this soup! 😋
I don’t know, it was a bit too spicy for me. I had to add more broth to tone it down.
Too many ingredients for me. I like simple things, ya know?
I get that! It does look a bit complicated, but you could skip some ingredients if you want to simplify it. 😊
1 outta 5, did not like at all. The lime juice ruined it for me.
Used canned veggies instead and it turned out fine! Don’t be scared to improvise.
My grandma used to make something like this, but she added potatoes. Not sure if corn is right… 🤔
I made this soup and my husband gobbled it up! He doesn’t like beans normally!
My soup turned out kinda bland, maybe I need to add more spices? What did I do wrong?
I thought it was a bit too spicy for my kids. Maybe less jalapeno next time?
Perfect for chilly days! Easy recipe too. Will definitely make again.
Totally agree! This soup is so cozy, especially with some tortilla chips on the side. Can’t wait to make it again too!
Easy to make! I didn’t have black beans, so I used kidney beans instead. Still pretty tasty!
Looks like a lot of ingredients… I thought soup was supposed to be simple :-/
This soup was amazing! So flavorful and filling. My family loved it!
I don’t know. It was okay, but I think it needs more than just chicken for flavor. A bit bland.
I understand what you mean! Maybe adding some spices or a squeeze of lime could give it more kick.
I don’t know about using all those peppers. A bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, maybe skip the jalapeno?
I don’t really get how this is ‘Mexican’ but okay… tastes fine I guess.
YUM! Make sure to add extra lime! So tangy and good!!
Not my favorite. It was ok, but I think I expected more from the ingredients, ya know?
I get what you mean! The ingredients sound amazing, but sometimes the flavors just don’t pop like we hope. Maybe next time add more spices? 🤔
I dunno, I thought it was pretty good! I guess everyone has different tastes. Did you use fresh ingredients? That can make a huge difference.
Did not taste like Mexican soup I had at a restaurant. Needs more flavor, I added some taco seasoning.
I think it sounds good, but maybe you should try using roasted tomatoes or adding some more spices next time? That might help with the flavor!
1 cup corn? I thought it was supposed to be 2!? Anyway, still tastes okay.
I messed up and forgot the lime. Is it still gonna be okay? Asking for a friend. 😂
Don’t worry too much! The soup will still taste good without the lime, just might be a lil’ less zesty. 😊
Yummy in my tummy! But it left me with a tummy ache, not sure why. Maybe too much garlic?
So simple! I can’t cook but I did it! What’s the next step after cooking? Eat?
I found it too spicy for my kids. Maybe reduce the jalapeno next time?
I followed the recipe, but my soup turned out bland. Maybe I need to add more spices? 🤔
Maybe you should try adding some cayenne pepper or a bit of smoked paprika! It’ll totally kick up the flavor! 🌶️
So easy to make! We added some avocado on top, it was delicious! Highly recommended!
This soup is amazing! I made it for my family and they couldn’t get enough. So flavorful!
Easy to make and great for a cold night. Will definitely add it to my rotation!
Best soup ever! The lime really makes it pop. Yum!
I totally agree! The lime adds such a fresh flavor. I’m making it again this week! 🌟
It was good but I don’t know about best ever. I think my mom’s soup is way better! Just sayin’.
I don’t like beans in soup, so I left them out. Still turned out good, I guess.
Good to hear it still turned out tasty! Beans aren’t for everyone. Soup is all about personal taste.
Great recipe! I skipped the lime because I didn’t have any, and it was still good.
I love that you adapted it! Recipes are just a guideline anyway. 👍
This recipe is a joke. Soup needs meat, not just chicken. Where’s the beef?
So good👍 I added more corn and it was yummyy!!
This soup is amazing! The flavors are just perfect. Will definitely make again!
Who knew making soup could be this simple? I even used homemade broth! It’s a keeper.
I don’t cook often, but this was doable. The tortilla chips are a must, makes it crunchy!
Yum! Just like I had in Mexico! So good!! 😋
I gotta try this! Sounds delish! 🌶️
I dunno… is it really like the stuff from Mexico? My Abuela’s soup was way better!
This soup is soooo good! I made it last night and my whole family loved it. Will definitely be making it again!
Looks good, but I don’t like beans. Can I leave them out?
I made it too, and it was a hit! Perfect for cold nights. Thanks for sharing!
