Herdez Red Guajillo Chile Chicken Tortilla Soup

As an AllRecipes Brand Ambassador Program, I am lucky enough to get goodies about once a month to try out. I get to share my thoughts on the products with AllRecipes, and of course here as well! This month we all received various flavors of Herdez brand sauces. I received Red Guajillo Chile and also Tomatillo Verde. I decided to use the Red Chile sauce in a Chicken Tortilla Soup and it was so GOOD!! I used the whole jar for my recipe, and personally thought the recipe was a little on the spicy side (that didn't stop me or Kent from polishing off our bowls though!) and would recommend starting with half of the jar and then adding more to your personal taste bud's preferences!

We topped ours with sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese and really enjoyed this meal. Filling, flavorful, and absolutely delicious!!
