It can be made from mild to wild, but it should be a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy. It is tasty, flavorful, and filling yet being relatively low in fat, calories, and fiber. For a chunkier texture, you might opt to merely partially puree. The soup freezes beautifully. Add cheese, sour cream, cilantro, and sourdough croutons as garnishes.
