“Amazing soup! Although I did make a mistake by putting in one can of tomato sauce vs the whole tomatoes & that was a mistake. I had to compensate with double the chicken broth (Pacific organic) and double the spices. I did use an organic rotisserie chick” — a cook, 5.0★
“i throw mine in a crockpot with rotisserie chicken, add 2 can of seasoned diced tomatoes and half can of green chilies i dice up and add more chicken broth and onion and garlic and skip the cilantro, lime. we add cheese and avocado at the end to our own bowls.” — a cook, 5.0★
