Love this soup! We make it all the time and it just gets better the longer it sits, so it's great for leftovers. The original recipe posted on food.com was missing steps for some of the ingredients. I since submitted a revision from the original recipe and now you should have no problems following the steps (though it looks like those steps may be missing from the mobile version).

The recipe list included ingredients not mentioned in the cooking preparation (garlic, chocolate and jalapeños). This was more like a stew vice a chili. DH and DS liked it, but I thought it was lacking something. May add brown sugar or used pigeon peas instead of the white beans.

I found this recipe in my newspaper and made it tonight, and it's great! I only used half of the jalapeno and used chicken breasts instead of the roasted chicken, and it was fab.
