Garlic, I love garlic, so this recipe was calling my name. Easy to fix and fast to get on the table. As I cut the tomatoes I wondered if they would be too strong but they were perfect in the soup. I used 2 jalapeno and think that next time I'll leave the seed in 1 of them for an extra kick in the soup. Thank you for posting.
