Notes
Mix it up:Meat — beef up this recipe (pun intended) with a pound of browned ground beef, fresh Mexican chorizo, or 2-3 cups of shredded chicken. Also, toss in any leftover meat that won’t make another meal.Hearty — small macaroni or shell pasta is a great way to add extra heartiness to the soup. Cooked rice is also great.Cans — here’s where you can really go crazy. Use more beans like white or kidney, fire roasted tomatoes, diced green chilies, enchilada sauce, canned chicken, and vegetables.Toppings — sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, diced cilantro, diced green onions, fresh salsa, avocado, tortilla chips and lime wedges are all delicious toppings.
