SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was super!!I just added extra a cup of brown rice, corn, and added a little less cillantro since my daughter is not a fan. I will add this one to my recipe box for sure.
I really liked this soup! It was spicier and more scrumptious than a tortilla soup I had recently made.
I think I will use a little less onion next time, though, but that is just my preference.
let me ask you guys a question...i hate cilantro with a passion....i wonder if i could use flat leaf intalian parsley instead??? any thoughts??

Hey Erin,
I think the parsley would work fine, but I'd also add some oregano for a little flavor boost.

This was absolutely WONDERFUL! I am a new vegetarian and this recipe is now my favorite. Thank you for sharing. I over-measured the cayenne so it was unintentionally spicy, but still good. I enjoyed with a fresh salad.
I made this soup. It was terrific. I brought it to work and a girl had forgotten her lunch so I shared it with her. She just oohed and ahhed over it the whole time and she is a hardcore carnivore. She asked me for the recipe and I told her about this website. She is starting to believe that we don't eat just tofu and lettuce. Our food rocks! Thanks for a great recipe.
Thanks for this great recipe! It was very easy to make and wonderful to eat. I used Trader Joe's salsa verde for the enchilada sauce, and added about 1/3 cup of cooked brown rice to each bowl.
I tried ungreen's variation with salsa, sweet potatoes and double the cumin and oregano & served it to a group of friends. Everyone raved!
Spicy but very good! I'll cut back on the pepper and cayenne pepper next time and throw in a cubed potato too.
Very good ;D I used lima beans instead of soy beans and also steamed up & threw in some zucchini, carrots, green beans and fresh collard greens. mmm I have made it twice now & doubled the recipe the 2nd time & added some jalapeños very good and surprisingly I am burnt out on it now. Will make again when this phase fades.
