This is a spicy, warm up your mouth kind of soup I put together on our first day of snow here in North Idaho. I normally don’t use brand name ingredients in my recipes, but in this case I think they create a flavor I’m not sure I could easily duplicate without them. This is great on a cold winter day but I bet it would be just as good on a hot summer day when you need to sweat a bit to cool off.
If you like your food on the mild side, delete the jalapeno peppers from the soup and serve them on the side as a garnish. I also added a big dollop of sour cream to my bowl.
