This is very good. Made it last night for dinner. My husband ate 3 big bowls full. I did use fat free half and half and spicy montery cheese. I poached the chicken breasts and then shredded them into the soup. If you like Mexican, you'll like this.

This was AWESOME! I loved the bell peppers and even added some jalapeno's for the extra kick. My family loved this recipe.
