This is a wonderfully different kind of soup for us. This the first time I have used gizzards/liver in a recipe and found we really enjoy it. Did not use the green pepper and loved the warmth of the serrano. Finished off with a dollop of sour cream and chopped cilantro. Thank you for sharing What! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.
