I tried this and it was way too salty for my taste. Maybe less salt next time?
Delicious! I added avocado slices and it made it perfect! 😍
That sounds amazing! Avocado definitely enhances it. Great idea! 🥑😊
The recipe is easy to follow but could use more spice. I like it hot!
Tortilla soup? More like tortilla stew! Too thick for my liking.
But I think it tastes great as is! Maybe you just prefer lighter soups. Everyone’s taste is different!
I disagree! This soup is supposed to be hearty and filling! If you want it thinner, just add more broth.
Yum! My kids loved it. I added some avocado and it was delish!
Hated it! The broth was too salty for my taste.
I dunno about this recipe, the instructions seem a bit off. Who puts tomatoes in soup?
Pretty good! I just used whatever I had in the fridge. #chefskills
Sounds delicious! I love when you can make something good with just what you have. Great job! 👏
Too spicy for my kids! I should’ve used less chili powder. Be careful!
I don’t have cumin, can I leave it out? I used taco seasoning instead.
I don’t know, cumin is like important for flavor. You might wanna try finding some!
Yeah, you can leave it out! Taco seasoning should make it tasty too.
I’m not really a soup person, but this one I could get used to!
I think there should be beans in this, right? But still, nice flavor.
Nah, beans are not traditional in tortilla soup. It’s perfect without them!
Beans would be a nice addition! I usually put black beans in my tortilla soup for extra protein.
Fried tortillas make everything better! This is a keeper for sure!
It was good, but I feel like something was missing. Maybe some lime?
Lime would definitely add a nice zing! I think it’s a great idea.
Super easy to make! I used leftover rotisserie chicken. Yum!
5 stars for sure! Even better than the one at that restaurant.
I totally agree! This is the best recipe I’ve tried in ages. So easy and delicious!
Really? I tried it and it was too spicy for me. Maybe I did something wrong…
Wow, this soup is amazing! Perfect for a cold night! My whole family loved it.
This soup is amazing! So flavorful and easy to make.
This is just like the one my grandma used to make, brings back memories!
That’s so sweet! Food really does have a way of bringing back memories. Your grandma sounds like a great cook!
I tried this and it was QUIRIOUS… like is this even real tortilla soup?
