Magnesium
Magnesium is one of the most important minerals for the body and yet, its health benefits are often under-appreciated. According to the National Institutes of Health: “Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. There is an increased interest in the role of magnesium in preventing and managing disorders such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Dietary magnesium is absorbed in the small intestines. Magnesium is excreted through the kidneys.“
Unfortunately, the majority of people, including 75% of Americans have magnesium-deficinecy. Learn more about this important mineral and the top sources of magnesium in foods:
Because of their high chlorophyll content, green vegetables are excellent sources of magnesium. A good diet with enough intake of whole wheats, nuts, legumes and vegetables can assure that we receive the required daily intake of magnesium; and unless prescribed by a doctor, supplements are often not necessary.

2-I usually use my hand blender to blend this a little before serving. The potato, once blended, makes for a nicer texture. I also add a bit of whatever fresh herbs I have on hand instead of the dried thyme. I've used thyme, rosemary and chives.
3-This turned out very good. I added a little bit of dried rosemary instead of thyme. I also added grated sharp cheddar in the end which added a nice bite.

REVIEWS
1- My husband and I also thought this soup was delicious. I added chopped, leftover roasted chicken to make it a little heartier, and simmered the soup for about 45 minutes to really blend the flavors. I crushed the chips into the serving bowls, rather than add them to the pot, so that leftovers won't be full of mushy chips. The chips softened just fine in the bowls. We are not super big eaters, so for us 1/2 a recipe yielded 4 servings.
2- My husband an I also thought this was great. I garnished with cheese and sour cream. I also added chips to the bottom of the bowl so they would not be too mushy - keep up the great ideas - it was quick, easy, and delicious.
3- When I followed the recipe it was very thick and not soup-like, so I doubled the chicken stock and added a diced jalapeno for heat. I also doubled the lime juice and this helped all the flavors pop better. Very delicious!!
4- This is similar to a recipe that I make. I would suggest replacing the cans of diced tomatoes with a tomato/green chili product like Rotel for extra kick. They make several new versions, like cilantro and lime, which has become my new favorite! Want to serve more? Add hominy, navy beans, pinto beans, and black-eyed peas and more broth.
5- It's good but a little bland. I like my tortilla soup with more "oomph" behind it. This one tasted better after I put a bunch of hot sauce on it. I'm not much of a cook, so I don't know exactly how to modify this recipe to improve, but I might suggest adding some salsa and hot sauce, and perhaps more garlic, onions, and chili powder.
