This soup has a really nice flavor. I served it for dinner last night along with Mesa Grill Bread #37758. They complimented each other nicely. I needed to add more salt to this than I usually add to food, and I skipped the sour cream and lime slice garnish. Otherwise, recipe was made as directed, and I don't believe I would change anything in the future.
