  Awesome. Was a big hit at dinner party. Had one vegetarian and a non fish person. Added sweetcorn and then had little bowls of chicken, prawns, fresh chilis, coriander etc in the middle.

  This recipe is perfect. Easy and very very tasty. We had a lot of Mexican Lime Soup in Mexico and this is just as delicious and authentic... My boyfriend loved it too and bugged me to make a load so he could take it to work (he loves to show off to his friends that he has a girlfriend that can cook). Not watery or over spicy at all, although its not meant to be a thick soup.

  For the Ancho chillies I ordered these online... but normal medium heat chillies work well (Ancho chillies have much more flavour), and the 1.5 of stock, I use pints not litres as litres will make it too watery and the recipe isn't clear on the unit so I went with pints and it works perfectly...

  This was so easy and really nice, I used less stock as recommended by others and was glad I did otherwise it would have been very watery. Found it hard to get Ancho chilli but used Chipotle instead. Will definatley make this again

  Not a big fan- found the consistency too thin and it basically just tasted like hot lime juice. If I made it again I'd put just half a lime or 1 max, def not 2, it overwhelms the soup. Unlikely to try it again though.

  Really delicious - I added a couple of red peppers and I couldn't find an ancho chilli so I used 1/2 tsp of chipotle chilli paste (I found it in Waitrose) instead - Can't wait to make some more even my anti-soup husband and fussy 6 year old son loved it too!
