"Giddy on up cowboys and cowgirls, Saddle Soup is about to take us all on the wildest Western adventure our tastebuds have ever experienced! Go ahead and strap yourself in because this Tex-Mex take on cheesy, creamy, thick potato soup might just blow you away. There are hints of savory cumin, a bunch of tender veggies and beans, and a nice little kick to keep things fun and interesting.
