  We used smoked chicken and added some sweetcorn: it had much more flavour than we expected and it couldn't be easier to prepare! (especially since we didn't even bother to puree)

  Very very lovely, I made the soup with the chicken then let everyone else help themselves to the avocado, lime, corriander and tortillas, so it was like a funky little soup pick n mix. Hit with everyone. Will definitely make again :) x

  Really tasty but I only used about 1 litre of stock which I thought was plenty.

  This is quite an easy and simple soup to make. I found that it needed a LOT of seasoning though. What really makes it is the toppings - I served mine with tortilla chips, lime wedges, fresh coriander leaves and soured cream. My 3-year old nephew liked it too!

  Very good. I made my own broth from thighs and then shredded that into the soup. I also added black beans, corn and some pepper flakes.

  This sounds lovely although we don't eat chicken or turkey, even tho we are meat eaters. Ive bought a chunk of 'Extra special Cooked Arista pork loin' from my local supermarket Deli, i thought of chopping this into small cubes and adding this to the soup when its poured back into the saucepan after the Processor stage to warm through, and im serving with 'Ciabatta Cheese and Garlic Bread' i maight also add a little bit of sweetcorn. I hope this will work.x

  Well i dont know where i went wrong with this. Ive never had a problem with making soup before but this came out far far too hot (and we love spicy) and very very runny and and an awful grey colour. It was like runny water with tomatoes chucked in. Ive never had a problem with any of the recipes on this site, it must have been something that i did, i cant believe it was the recipe due to the very good comments above. I would be happy to try my hand at making this again.

  I forgot to stir in the lime juice before serving but it was still very tasty, we particulary enjoyed the homemade tortilla strips.

  Really delicious and so easy to make. I added some lentils before blending to make it slightly thicker. A big hit with the whole family!

  I made this soup according to the recipe and although taste wise it's very tasty, it was really watery in consistency. I added a cup of long grain rice & cooked for a further 15 mins which did the trick and thickened the soup up a treat. When I cook this again I'm only going to add 1 litre of stock as I think it'll be ample.
