Notes

For a richer flavor, consider cooking the soup a day in advance to allow the flavors to meld. You can also adjust the level of spiciness by using a hotter taco seasoning or adding some chopped jalapeños. If you prefer a thicker soup, reduce the amount of chicken broth slightly or add a tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with water towards the end of the cooking process.
