My husband is on a very strict low carb diet & he misses soups. This recipe hit the spot for him! I cut the recipe in half, used my own taco seasoning for the spices, had to leave out the onion AND cream cheese due to his diet restrictions--and used low sodium chicken broth. I let it simmer for a good 10-15 minutes. he really enjoyed it; thanks so much!
