Recipe Notes

*If you want it to be more mild swap the jalapeño with 1/3 cup chopped bell pepper…Or just leave out the peppers altogether.

*Also make sure to use mild Rotel rather than regular Rotel.

*Optional step: Use a hand held immersion blender to blend the diced tomatoes and chiles for a smoother and more thickened soup.
