I give it a 3 because it has potential, the flavor isn’t bad, but I am not sure what it needs beyond some additional body – it was pretty thin. Perhaps decreasing the amount of broth would help. We live in a REALLY humid environment so you don’t get as much evaporation from simmering as they do in a dryer climate like Texas. The tortillas helped add some body and flavor. This is one time when MORE salt was needed instead of less. But I can’t taste this and say, “it just needs (fill in the blank)”. Maybe sour cream? A spoon full of pico de gallo on top? Something is missing I just can’t figure out what.
