  1. This would be my second time making this soup. My boyfriend and his boys love when I make this! His son is so incredibly picky and the majority of the foods I make he doesn’t like but he was happy there was leftovers so he could eat it the next day. Making again tonight!

  2. Made this for dinner tonight and it was FANTASTIC! I made two minor changes: 1) tossed in a few splashes of Franks Red Hot Sauce before cooking (didn’t notice it at all) and 2) instead of 1 1/2 cups water, I used 3/4 cup water and 3/4 cup chicken stock. Six Sisters have done it again! My only regret is that it’s Lent so I can’t eat it for lunch tomorrow!

  3. DELICIOUS !!!!!!! Would love to have the nutrition info if you have it plus serving size and how many servings this wonderful soup makes. Thank you..

  4. Thank you for your recipe! This has become a family favorite. We devour this soup and I want more for leftovers! 🙂 Does cooking time vary if I want to double or triple this recipe? Will the chicken still cook properly?

  5. This is my second batch in a few weeks. I replaced salsa with a can of rotel. I also added diced onions and peppers along with a can of green chiles. This is amazing and I love it.

  6. excellent recipe! made it as listed and it was sooooo yummy. I made my own cream of chicken soup and it was so thick and creamy! Thanks!

  7. I threw this together before work with frozen chicken breast. I added a bit of garlic and onion powder and half a can of diced tomato wih green chilies (I like the spice!) cooked it for 6 hours on low and just got home and ate. IT’S AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

    My husband raved, “you made this!? It tastes like a chef made this!” It’s officially on the rotation!
