“Love this soup!!! I used leftover rotisserie chicken since I hate wasting food and it made the prep/cook time that much faster. I use Serrano chilies because I love spicy, and while husband doesn’t do spice so much he still gobbles down this soup!! I’m growing” — a cook, 5.0★
“Cheers Mike and Patty! Made this soup for dinner tonight. It's a gray, rainy, cold, day in the Pacific northwest and this soup is so good. So warming and cozy. Goes perfectly with a nice fire in the woodstove. My husband and I both loved it! It will definit” — a cook, 5.0★
