"2 thumbs up! I didn't use the crockpot because I was making so little (just enough for 2), which is a good thing, because if I'd made more, I wouldn't have been able to resit eating more. This is definitely not low cal, so I will use it for special occasions only. It is scrumptious. I'm going to serve it next weekend for a dinner party - - red win""

"I've made tortilla soup quite a bit, but this is my new recipe. With all due respect to mamoobarbie, I did make a couple alterations. Primarily I had no fire-roasted tomatoes, so I roasted some fresh ones I had with smoked salt. The flavors are superb. I'm going to make this again when the kids come home for Christmas. ""

"I just made half a recipe in a steel skillet and turned it upside down onto a platter . . . no frosting needed!! Some friends dropped by and were dazzled, as was I. So moist and delicious, and the butter/brown sugar "bottom" was lovely and slightly crispy. No cake flower so I used the cornstarch trick noted in another review. I agree this is top notch."
