This soup tastes better the longer it sits. This makes it ideal for make-ahead dinner or leftovers!

Enhance the spice with green chiles, ancho peppers, jalapenos, or red chili flakes.

This soup is perfect for mix-ins! Try adding diced bell pepper and zucchini, which can be added as the onions are sauteing.

Make a big batch and freeze it in 1-2 serving size portions. It lasts for up to 3 months and can be easily defrosted in a pot on the stove for a quick dinner!

For extra flavor, serve with fresh avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, or some cheese!
