I've got a friend in Arizona whose favorite soup is something similar to this. She gets it at a really good Mexican food restaurant there. Now, I've never tasted that soup but based on her description of it being super yummy, I thought I'd try to make my own. I pick good friends because she has good taste in soups. This was really good. If you like to walk on the wild side, add a couple of jalapenos to it and that should satisfy your need for spiciness. Overall....A VERY good soup and one IT Guy enjoyed quite a bit!
