Chili soup
Description
The soup is simple and quick to prepare. I found the chili soup recipe in an old cookbook. This Mexican soup turned out to be so delicious that I started making it very, very often. As for the taste of the chili soup—it's quite spicy, yet rich and hearty at the same time. You can definitely tell it's a meat-based soup. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
