I had all the ingredients on hand with the exception of the serrano's...but that was an easy pick up at the store...I did throw in some ham for hubby's serving...I really enjoyed the touch of cilantro...love that stuff...thanks for posting the recipe...:)

Yummy. This made a very good dinner tonight along with fresh made whole grain bread. I had to lighten up on the chili's for DH but it still delivered lots of great flavor. Who wouldn't love the low calorie, fat and sugar as well! The best of both world's.

Very spicy and thick soup. I used a can of diced tomatoes with chilies that I had handy, low-sodium broth and no additional salt - plenty salty, in my mind. I also cooked my black-eyed peas from dried, which also reduces sodium. This made about 2 1/2 servings for us and I think that you can add more broth to thin it down somewhat and make a bit more.
