I made this with the pepperjack soup pretty much according to recipe, but had to use brown rice since I was out of white rice, so I added a little bit of water (1/4 cup maybe). I had never used chipotles or muenster cheese in anything before so I was a little afraid the 2 chipotles would make it very hot, but it didn't. I really liked the melted muenster cheese on top. If I make this again I will definitely use white rice and maybe try a cheese soup as you suggested. Thanks!
