Very good soup! Made this for Easter brunch (my fiance and I had a couple of friends over). I added a bit more vermicelli, and another can of the Rotel tomatoes. Also added a tad more chili powder and cumin (LOVE spicy food!) I also served spinach quiche, some phyllo dough apps with anchovies and olives and a huge salad. Strawberry cake for dessert. (Random, huh?) Anyway, thanks for posting! I'll make it many times.
