By now you must know how much I love Mexican food. Well this KP original soup is no exception–I love it! And if you go lightly on the toppings, it’s a fairly healthy way to enjoy Mexican. This soup cooks up in less than an hour and is equally delicious right away or as leftovers the next day. It also freezes well. Ole!
