Tips & Variations
- Substitute ground turkey or ground chicken for a lighter version.
- Add a can of black beans for extra protein and texture.
- For a spicier soup, add diced jalapeños or a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.
- Serve with tortilla chips instead of Fritos for a different crunch and texture.
- This soup tastes even better the next day after the flavors have had time to blend in the refrigerator overnight.
