Just made this tonight... was looking for a quick hearty dinner. I pureed the soup before serving it with sliced avocados and a dollop of light sour cream. Yum! I also needed to use up a few slices of precooked bacon so I added them, minced when I was cooking the onion/garlic. I used only ground cayenne, not the red pepper flakes and it was spicy enough for me! I used about 2-1/2 cups of chicken broth. Will definitely make again. Thanks for the recipe!

Made a few changes with this recipe ~ Used 2 large cloves of garlic, a cup of thawed frozen corn, & cut the following seasonings to 1/8 teaspoon each: chili powder, paprika, cayenne & cumin & red pepper flakes. Did top it off with a sprinkling of colby/jack cheese & had a nice soup for lunch! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick-A-Chef]

I'm college student majoring in nutrition and dietetics. It sounds really intresting until you realize you have to organic chemistry. I'll be graduating in May 2008 and I am looking into volunteering as a nutrition educator for Americorps and getting my RD. I like to workout, I used to play basketball but lots of injuries have me doing yoga and walking now. My main passion is reading. I love to read, my friends think I'm a geek for it but that's ok!
