It looks delicious! What are you planning to change when you make it again?
The seasonings, I will keep them the same I just need to figure out amounts. It was not as flavorful as I would have liked, I always worry about over seasoning. I think it will just take another time or two to get it where I want it. :)
Jalepenos or green chiles, chile pepper and cayenne? Too much fire? Sorry, that's just what came to mind. It really looks like a great base recipe. Oooh...maybe a pepper in adobo sauce? Man, there's that fire again. So sorry!
Cumin! And chili powder! That gives it a bunch of good flavor. I'd say increase those spices and the flavor would be good.
I LOVE tortilla soup! Great recipe.
Anything Mexicanish is a hit in my book!
Yum! Is there a salsa you stick by?
Zoe-
It was Tostitos med. chunky salsa, It was just what I had on hand :)
looks tasty- I love tortilla soup!
Lisaloo- This looks absolutely delectable. I have never made chicken tortilla soup and your version sounds perfect! Love all the flavors you have going on in one bowl!
Hi Lissaloo,
Got your comment and I am adding your soup to the Souper Sunday line-up and links to your post and blog. Can you add a link to my blog and/or Souper Sunday to your post? Thanks!
Your soup looks delicious, I am sure the next time you make it you can add more of the spice you are looking for.
Aloha,
Deb
