This soup was really good. I was going to give it four stars because in the end it was missing something that I tried to make up for with white pepper and garlic. I went to the effort of making it exactly as stated EXCEPT for the anaheim chilies (because of the two toddlers that were eating too) even though that meant a trip to the store to get a few things, but it still came up short in the zip department. I give it five stars what it was lacking may very well have been those chilies that I left out! BTW, it was beautiful to eat with the fresh cilantro and chopped avacodo that we used as garnishes. In fact, I can't imagine not having the cilantro in this soup....IMO it should be a must have ingredient!

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
