Good basic recipe but I made changes due to what I had on hand. Be careful and only add salt 1 t. at a time. Mine was way to salty until I added some canned tomatoes. Here is what I did:<br/>I thought this was a too salty. I would use only 1t. salt next time. I added: 3 cloves garlic (that I sauteed with the onion), precooked chicken, extra water, 1c. white beans, 2 c. kidney beans, 1 can pureed Italian style tomatoes, and I skipped on the chipotle pepper and the heavy cream. I served with a dollop of sour cream, wedges of avocado, and a few crushed tortilla chips. Pretty tasty. Next time I would also double the recipe so that we would have leftovers.Reply
