I adore this soup dish that my sister made. I’ll cook a big pot and eat it for the entire week! It is delicious and may be made as spicy as you wish. After the flavors have had time to meld, food tastes even better the following day.

Reviews
This was DELICIOUS! I did follow the directions except, before I got started, I cubed up some chicken tenderloin strips, sauteed them in about 2T of evoo. Once it was about halfway cooked, that is when I started adding onion, garlic and then the peppers. Then I followed it from the recipe. My husband loves this soup! My sons love this soup! I will be making it again.
