A mild heat soup for a cool fall day. For more heat, add a jalapeño or two. The pale green color will have you thinking of the beauty of spring. This soup is great as the recipe is written or when used as a base for a more hearty soup by adding roasted chicken. Carry it a step further as a starting point for chicken tortilla soup by adding rinsed black beans and frozen roasted corn in addition to shredded chicken.
