SPICY TEX-MEX CHILI SOUP



Spicy Tex-Mex Chili Soup image

Make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the dried chili pepper flakes and jalapeno amounts, my family likes extreme heat so I use 2 jalapeno peppers --- for even more flavor add in a small bottle of taco sauce and cumin powder if desired --- all amounts may be adjusted to taste --- I strongly suggest to make this soup a day or 2 days in advance the flavors will intensify, refrigerate then warm on top of the stove, all that is needed with this soup is a loaf of crusty bread :)

  • Heat the tablespoon of olive oil in a pan then fry the chopped bacon. After a minute or two, add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes. Blend the bacon and mushroom mixture with the ricotta in the remaining cup of stock. Combine with the rest of the soup in a large pan and reheat for about 5 minutes. Serve garnished with the fresh coriander.
