“I doubled the garlic and onion, increased all the other seasonings by @ 1/4 teaspoon and added a teaspoon of dry cilantro to the pot. As written, I can see that kids would enjoy it because the flavor is far more subtle.” — a cook, 5.0★
“Where are the tortillas? I don’t see them listed in the ingredient list. Chopped up corn tortillas are mentioned as a variation to thicken the soup but where are the tortillas? Or am I missing something.” — a cook, 5.0★
