I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies instead. It was still delicious!

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the flavors are incredible. I love that it's a one-pot meal, so cleanup is a breeze.
