This recipe has been all over the internet for years now. So why is this one any different then the other 15 thousand? Well, after making the version of this that one of my dear friends gave me, I thought that it was a bit too spicy for myself and Kelsie so I added another component that just took this soup through the roof delicious! More so then it was before. Your gonna love it and so will your family. I served mine with a side of fluffy buttermilk biscuits, you can go with a crusty Italian bread or whatever else that your family likes.
