ay carumba!

last night i decided to try to really kick our taste buds ass...and in a really simple way! i saw this recipe through my rachel ray emails and my stomach growled just looking at it. you see, i'm one of those people who could literally eat mexican every night. i never get sick of the taste/ingredients/etc. i find it best paired with a nice raspberry margarita, but last night we settled for some beer :) but i highly recommend this soup. super easy to make!

i added tomatos to the recipe b/c LPH loves tomatos (and through dating him, i've grown quite fond myself). i also only put in 4 1/2 cups of chicken broth b/c i wanted it thicker.
