I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I substituted tomato sauce with a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies. It turned out great!

This soup was okay, but I've definitely had better. I think it needed more seasoning.

I wasn't a big fan of this soup. The flavors were a bit bland and the chicken was dry.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll try making it again with less chili powder next time.
