This was really good. I used vegetable stock instead of chicken, and left out the roasted red peppers (I didn't have any). I was going to say that while this was a good recipe it was a little bland and I used a lot of hot sauce, but I think if I had added roasted red peppers, it would have been a lot better. I loved it though because I'm a huge hot sauce lover anyway! :)
