For a richer flavor, consider using smoked bacon. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can partially blend it with an immersion blender before serving. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a wedge of lime for a complete Southwestern experience. This soup freezes well, making it a great option for meal prepping. Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. If you're sensitive to heat, start with half a tablespoon and add more as needed.

Nov 19, 2024I made a big batch of this soup and froze half for later. It reheats beautifully and tastes just as good as the day it was made.
