I came across this and thought it sounded great as I love chicken tortilla soup and thought it sounded like that, doesn’t sound anything like fajita soup as there is literally no onions or bell peppers which is what fajitas are primarily made of. Regardless, made the recipe exactly as is and was so disappointed! Had no flavor to it. I ended up adding about another cup of salsa, couple shakes tabasco sauce, 1/2 packet of taco seasoning, chili powder, and garlic salt. Even after all that it was only meh. Served with sour cream, fritos, avocado, tomato. I will finish it off because I hate wasting food but I’m not looking forward to it. Will not be making agin.
I made this today for dinner and It was really good! My husband doesn’t like beans so I didn’t add them and I also didn’t have any cilantro also but over all it was super good! I also added some sliced jaloenos on top! will forsure be making this again!
can I cook the chicken then add all the ingredients and enjoy? or does it have to be done in a slow cooker?
I haven’t tried that before but that should work just fine! Cook the chicken and then add it to your ingredients and cook it in a pot on the stove. It might not be as flavorful because the ingredients don’t have as much time to blend together.
This is so easy and the entire family loved it! Thank you!!
One of my go to soup recipes. So simple and delicious. Everyone loves it.
This soup is always simply delicious! It’s a go-to favourite over and over!!
I’m wondering though … if you add a cup of white rice (uncooked) how much water would you need to add, and would that change/lengthen the overall cooking time??
How do you make this in the instant pot?
Easy to make and Delicious!,
I have made this before and it’s amazing but have a question. Can I use cream of mushroom condensed soup instead of cream of chicken condensed soup? Or will it throw off the flavor a lot?
Thank you!
It will change the flavor but it will still taste good!
Can I make this recipe using frozen chicken breast?
It is best if you thaw the chicken breast ahead of time.
Hi, I make this all the time with frozen chicken breasts. It may be better thawed but I don’t know the difference and it’s delish!! My picky 16 yo daughter requests it all the time. The only thing I do differently is I use a packet of taco seasoning instead of the individual seasonings and I use fresh cilantro just because we love cilantro. I cook it on low for roughly 8 hours instead.
I have made your recipe several times but I think this time is my favorite. I used chicken stock instead of water, doubled the cheese and added three minced chipotles from a can of chipotles in adobo. I top it with diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream and tri-color tortilla strips. It is truly a southwest style soup. It is creamy and spicy and so, so flavorful! I could eat this over almost any chili!
This is my go-to soup in the fall and winter. It is absolutely delicious.
Would this soup freeze well after being cooked? I cook for one and often have lots of leftovers (even if I half the recipe). I’ve been trying to find a variety of recipes I can freeze so I can cook less. Thanks!
Yes, this is a great freezer meal soup!
We make this in the insta pot once a week! SO GOOD!!
How long do you cook this in the Instant Pot? Thanks!
Curious how long and what setting in the insta pot? Thanks!
