To fit my tastes, I made this sour, tangy martini; I hope you like it too! To make a pomegranate margarita, simply swap the vodka for silver tequila! Suitable for Thanksgiving.

Big hit with my family who normally eat meat!

My sons and I loved this soup. It was easy to make, and the way the spices meld together is perfect! This recipe is definitely on my will-make-again list!

A good, satisfying soup. The flavor is rich…posole like. Will make again for sure.

I cut this recipe in half and used a combo of red and green bell pepper. I don’t think the addition of the chopped green chilies is necessary. There is plenty in the “Rotel”. The recipe calls for the black beans to be undrained but I simple can’t do that. The liquid from black beans is so dark and thick that it turns things a horrible color not to mention all of the sodium. This was super simple and one I would make again with a few minor changes.
