Test Kitchen tips
  • You'll love how hearty and filling this is for a meatless soup.
  • Don't skip the lime wedges—the little bit of acid really perks up the flavor of the soup.

    • Peppers (Hot)

    Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
