This recipe is an easy and basic recipe that comes together quick! I love easy soup recipes! This one is full of flavor and you can adjust amounts so easily to feed less or more people. This recipe serves 5-6 I know you’ll love this flavor packed recipe. And don’t forget the garnishes!! Rice and corn and all the extras is what makes the soup so much better! I serve my rice and corn in the side so everyone can make their bowl just like they like it!
