- Adjust thickness: Add more broth for a thinner soup or stir in beans/rice for a heartier version.
- Balance the heat: Chipotle tomatoes bring smokiness; if you want less spice, use regular diced tomatoes.
- Add toppings: Avocado, sour cream, tortilla chips, or jalapeños make it even more indulgent.
- Batch cook: This soup tastes even better the next day after flavors meld together.
Variations
