SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on the feasibility of doubling the Cheese Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe using a 12-inch skillet. It is confirmed that the ability to double the recipe depends on the skillet's size and the liquid requirements of the recipe. If the skillet is large enough and the recipe is not overly liquid-heavy, doubling should be possible. However, it is recommended to first try a 1.5x batch to gauge the available space before committing to a full double batch.

It really depends on the size of your skillet and how much liquid the recipe calls for. If you have a larger skillet and the recipe doesn't require a lot of liquid, then you should be able to double the recipe without any issues. However, if your skillet is on the smaller side or the recipe calls for a lot of liquid, you may run into some overflow or spillage. I would suggest maybe starting with a 1.5x batch first and see how much room you have left in the skillet before attempting a full double. Hope that helps!
