This soup was a disappointment. The flavors were muddled and the chicken was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

This soup is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I love this soup! It's so flavorful and comforting. I always make a big batch so I can have leftovers for lunch the next day.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also very easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup turned out bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it. The soup was amazing! The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was tender and juicy. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's so easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day.

This tortilla soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this soup again.
