I have recipe that very much similar to yours and you are correct it is delicious. Your pictures of the soup is fabulous. However, I use Tortilla Chips instead and break them and add to top with garnishes. I do like the crunch of the chips.

I just ate some of this at a restaurant, but it was so salty. I even added sugar to it, but it did t help. It was really good, but too salty.
