Easy to make and really tastey. I toped the soup with strips of corn tortillas (fried) and avocado slices. I would make the recipe over and over again, my family loved it.

I love tortilla soup and I love lime so this was a great combination for me. It turned out excellent. It's a very good first course for a mexican meal. If you do not like a lot of lime you may want to cut the lime juice back a little bit. All in all a great soup!

This recipe was not a favorite with our family. We all finished our serving but I wouldn't make it again. Too much lime and not enough chicken tortilla soup flavor.

It was very easy to make and very flavourful. If you like Thai food but find it too involved to make at home this is a good alternative.
