- Choose jalapeno peppers that are bright green and firm for the best flavor.
- Be sure to use fresh cilantro for the best flavor and texture.
- Substitute cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts for cooked black beans for a vegetarian version. The benefit of this substitution is that it provides a protein alternative for those who do not eat meat and still allows them to enjoy the flavors of the soup.
- Substitute jalapeno peppers for bell peppers for a milder flavor. The benefit of this substitution is that it allows those who may not be able to handle the spiciness of jalapenos to still enjoy the soup without the added heat.
