Great recipe Dancer. The only thing I did different was to saute the onion and garlic in a little olive oil before adding the broth and stuff. This soup has some heat to it but it is not over powering. I used one canned chipotle chile that I minced and lots of fresh cilantro. Delicious!

This is yummy! I am lazy, so I just dumped everything all at once in a crockpot, and added a can of drained black beans. The broth wasn't very pretty, but it was extremely tasty. thanks for the recipe!

This soup is good. My husband loved it, and my kids ate it. My changes were to add some left over cilantro lime rice. I also left out the tomatoes since I didn't have any. It was even better on the second day.
