    The perfect soup for Sunday night after Thanksgiving. It uses leftover turkey and just enough dried Chiles to keep it interesting without it being time-consuming. While the recipe itself was done in the suggested 30 minutes, the garnishes took another 15-20 minutes — I chopped a white onion with cilantro, and cubed avocado and queso fresco. I’ll plan accordingly next year.

    4 out of 5 stars. This was a hit and the heat level is a solid mild to medium! Soup has a great flavor base, but seasoning with salt and squeezing some lime juice at the end is very necessary to make it sing. You'll need to use more salt than you think you'll need. Cilantro as an add-in makes it awesome, the avocado gives a pleasantly creamy bite, and the fried tortilla (I used chips) added a nice texture. Recipe says it takes 30 minutes, but I found it closer to 45. Will make again to use up future turkeys, and will probably add some ground chipotle next time.
