This is a recipe my stepfather has been making for years. He learned it while living in Mexico. It is delicious and is best when you let it sit overnight.

The soup was a little too thick for my liking. I would suggest adding more broth or water to thin it out.

This soup is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

I didn't have any fresh peas on hand, so I used frozen ones and it turned out just as good! The soup was creamy, flavorful, and packed with veggies.
