Mexican Fiesta Chowder

Mo-B's Note:

My sister created this recipe, and then my husband and I adapted it to our tastes. It is creamy, spicy, comfort food for us. We always serve it with a side of baked tortilla chips for dunking.

Fabulous recipe! Loved the creamy, cheesey texture and the spice from the salsa and taco seasoning. Served with taco chips and sour cream. Nice change from chili.

This soup is wonderful! The only changes I made was I sauteed an onion and a couple of tbsps of garlic, I also add in some dryed chili flakes, we loved this soup! thanks for sharing Mo-B!...Kitten:)
