One of my all time favorite soups, which I have made many times. I usually leave out the optional peas, use extra garlic and fresh spinach. I like to top it with Greek yogurt and cilantro and serve it with corn tortillas on the side, but all of your suggestions sound like they would be delicious. The tomatillos give this soup such a wonderful flavor!
