The jalapeno adds a lttle zip but is not overwhelming. I served it at a luncheon I catered and the group raved about the flavor. They asked for the recipe and I believe that is always a sign of success.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much broth.

The soup was a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less green chilies.

Easy to make and delicious! I used canned pumpkin and it turned out great. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper for some extra spice.

I was skeptical about the pumpkin and green chilies combination, but it totally works! The soup is rich and savory, with a hint of sweetness from the pumpkin. I served it with a dollop of sour cream and some crumbled tortilla chips, and it was perfec
