“Add some fire to a cold day with a smoky, spicy Southwest-style soup. Chili powder, cumin, chipotle chile and pepper jack cheese add heat to the cream and broth base; and canned chicken (a great lean protein food) and canned vegetables make preparation a cinch!” - by Mealtime.org

"I made a few adjustments to make it healthier and lower in calories for me. I used one whole onion, threw in a bit of fresh minced garlic, fresh grated carrot instead of canned, poached/shredded chic..." See moreken I had in my freezer and fat free half-n-half instead of whipping cream. I added fresh ground pepper as well. I also used organic ingredients where I could. After tasting the soup, I did add more cumin/chili powder/cilantro. This is tasty, though for me it needed more spice. Even lightened up, I don't miss any of the flavor by using lower fat ingredients. Next time, I'd leave out the celery as I felt it was out of place in this recipe, but that's a personal choice. NOTE: If you are having a hard time locating ground chipotle chili, I found it in my local grocery store in the "ethnic" food aisle with the mexican foods hanging from a j-hook in a cellophane packet."
