Texas Thick & Spicy Tortilla Soup image

I came up with this after several attempts and still tweaking. Starting with a bland one I found in a cookbook and deleted and added until I got the taste and consistency I liked. Most of the ones I had tried were watery and bland. This is a hot soup. If you don't like hot and spicy, don't make it ,,, you won't like it. I'm from Texas where we like our women, chili and most everything else hot. To make it even hotter, add the whole can of Rotel and leave the Jalapeño seeds in. This will generously serve 6 people. Add garnish if you must or just pour it up and enjoy with a cool glass of iced tea or man beverage of your choice. You can use generic brands for the ingredients but if you are health conscious, check the labels for fat and cholesterol content. The generics I have looked at are usually higher in both compared to name brands.

I love the smoky flavor of the chipotle peppers in this soup. It gave it a really unique and delicious taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't turn out as thick as I expected. Maybe I should have simmered it for longer.

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chipotle peppers.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much water.
