Tips

  • If you don't like spice, deseed the jalapeño or use canned green chili peppers.
  • If someone in your family doesn't like cilantro, add it to individual bowls instead of the main pot.
  • You can top the soup with avocado, more cilantro, fresh lime, tortilla strips, freshly sliced jalapeño, or cheese.
