Notes

  • You can adjust the spices to your taste buds.
  • If you want to thicken this soup, you can add a few ounces of cream cheese and stir until it melts all the way. I recommend using about 4 ounces cream cheese cut into cubes.
  • For a touch of heat, you can also add in some sliced jalapenos. 
  • Garnish your bowl of soup with sour cream, cheese, green onions, cilantro, diced avocado, chives or your favorite taco toppings. 
  • A squeeze of fresh lime juice would add a a bright flavor.
