    New found favorite! Super easy to make. I will add more beans and jalapeño to topping for a little kick.

    This soup was easy and fast to make and taste delicious, I just added some pepper jack cheese after it was done. It's a quick meal to make the family when you're in a hurry to eat dinner.

    This is the first recipe I got over a year ago and it’s still our favorite! The topping gives a tangy contrast to the soup. It is easy to make. I usually double the recipe so that we have leftovers. I do leave out the cilantro (I’m one of the 50% that tastes soap).
