This soup is easy, filling, and healthy; what's not to love? I do recommend using a good-quality salsa for this (like the fresh refrigerated salsa). It's a very flexible recipe as well. If you want it hotter, just add cayenne or chili powder along with the cumin. This makes a great hot lunch. Thanx!
