My children loved this soup. I did a few substitutions for some ingredients because I didn't have all the ingredients called for here. I used homemade chicken stock + 1 cup water and a chipotle boullion, fresh potatos, added carrots and I used my Italian seasonings instead of the dry basil (didn't have any). I served it with a dallop of lite sour cream and fresh cilantro on top. Yumm....

My new favorite soup recipe. This was perfect. The combination of flavor was unsual but surprisingly great. By using a jar of spicy salsa, it had a good bit of spice. I pressure cooked this recipe. Where I would have brought it all to a boil normally, I put the lid on it and brought it to pressure. I pressure cooked it for 3 minutes. Turned out perfect. Where it says frozen potato, you can use the individual pieces of hash browns in the freezer section.

This soup was pretty good, and nice and filling; however, we felt that it was somewhat bland and was a little too veggie-intensive (and I ommitted the potatoes). I had to add an addtional half can of beef broth because it needed more liquid, so this may have diluted the flavor of the salsa a bit. I also think that it would be better without the green beans. A little less veggies would have allowed for more enjoyment of the steak and beans!
