Notes
-
- Spice it up! Add a pinch or two of cayenne to make it a little spicy! You could also add chilies in adobo or red pepper flakes.
-
- Skip the cream for a more tomato-y taco soup! I will use just about any excuse to add heavy cream to a soup recipe because I love the flavor and texture. But you’re welcome to omit it if you prefer a more tomato-forward soup.
