Overall, it was very good, the left overs kept well, and I would make it again. I added corn, black beans, and other spicy spice; I nixed italian dressing, chicken, and chicken broth (substituted vegetable broth). Mmmmm...

Very good! Per other suggestions I added rice and added some taco seasons to the chicken/broth mixture.

My husband loves this soup; he says that it tastes like his grandma's tortilla soup. We add like to add rice sometimes.

This is a great soup base. I adjusted liberally, but the recipe was the perfect place to start. I added black beans, corn, carrot, celery and zucchini plus some rotini pasta to make a hearty vegetable soup. I also added 2 cups of beef broth to the chicken broth.

Already had cooked chicken, so I simmered it in the broth for about 20 min. then added the tomato sauce and some fresh sweet corn. Very good, very easy. Family like it.

Love, love, love this soup!!! I also use canned chicken, and I add black beans and instant rice. We are only a family of three and I have to double the recipe so there's leftovers!

This is a family favorite, and it is easily doubled (or trebled) for company. It is ALWAYS a hit. We use more garlic and dressing than the recipe calls for. The toppings are what really give it the Mexican flavor.

This was great! My two little ones ate the whole bowl which is rare with soup. I will make this again, but will put my own twist to it. Another two thumbs up for KRAFT!!!
