Thank you.

    Thanks, Brian! This was a wonderful recipe. I did add the juice of one lime after pulling it off the heat, which is something I have seen done in other tortilla soup recipes. Kicks up the flavor another notch!

    Hey Brian. I like this video, but I made some adjustments in the chicken broth area. After removing all of the meat from the carcass, I prepped the remaining ingredients and put them in the refrigerator. Then I added the drippings and carcass to a 1½ liter pot of chicken stock (I used Herb-Ox Sodium Free). I added in a smashed clove of garlic, a tsp of kosher salt, and a tsp of black peppercorns and simmered that for a couple of hours. When it was done, I strained the broth and put that in the refrigerator to assemble the rest of the recipe the next day. I know, it's not a 25 minute recipe, but the flavor is over the top! The only step I would have done, had I though about it first, was roasting the carcass before adding it to the stock. But this is a great recipe. Thanks!

    Made this recipe last night and can definitely say it rocks. I ate three bowls, my wife ate two big bowls, and my niece devoured hers. And had plenty left over. Big thumbs up.

    i had no corn, but i did find a can of hominy hiding in the pantry. Seems like a more traditional ingredient anyway. Then i tightened it up a little more with some masa at the end. I love that flavor in this and in chili.

    very similar to taco soup I make: 3 cans of fire-roasted tomatoes, 1 lb. hamburger, (no chicken stock), taco seasoning pack; ranch dressing powdered pack; one can each great northern, pinto & blacks beans, drained and one can of corn. I can try this version tomorrow (except for the poblano).

    And if you add sliced up corn tortillas, letting them melt into the soup and thickening the broth while it cooks, then IMHO you have chicken tortilla soup 😉

    Made this tonight to prep lunches for the rest of the week. Ended up eating a full bowl to “sample” after I had already eaten dinner. This is one of my favorites, but every recipe I’ve made of yours is a hit! Thank you!!!

    Made this last night and YUP!…came out great!! The blended chipotle peppers thing is a big brain move, too. Puts a tiny bit of spice and smokiness in the background…really adds a bit of depth. Really good!!

    For it to be chicken tortilla soup, you need to add some corn tortillas to the soup. Take two corn tortillas, cut then into strips then cut those into smaller bits, stir these into the soup as it simmers and let them dissolve. They’ll thicken the soup slightly and give it that certain taste and texture tortilla soup needs.

    I made this this the other day following your recipe, fantastic. I took the leftover soup and added Velveeta and cream cheese to it and it became probably the best chip dip i have had. Thanks for sharing this!

    Just made this for the first time. Subbed jalapeno for poblano. Still too thin for my liking, even after blending a few cups of soup. Will add ground up tortilla chips next time (in place of masa) to thicken. Even so, this was a 9/10 and definitely goes on "the list" of favorites.

    So good! Thank you Brian! The only problem I had was that my immersion blender sheered off, but that was user error 😅 Thank you for spicing up the way I cook, and for all the hard work you put into these videos 😊

    I make this all the time now. So easy and so delicious and easy!

    I put the remaining chipotles in a baggie, mash up the peppers with my fingers, and freeze flat. I break off a piece as I need it.

    I want to make this recipe, but I'm unsure what you mean by Chili powder. Do mean the spicy, ground up powder made from chilies, or the pre-mixed spice blend you use to make chili? So many recipes from America don't specify this and it's the reason I rarely make these kinds of dishes.

    Made this today and it was amazing. I don't like to deal with rotisserie chicken so I just used a few chicken breasts. Browned them in the pot before the veggies went in, and finished cooking them in the broth. 10/10 soup.
