Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and cilantro will elevate the flavor. If you don’t have fresh cilantro, dried cilantro will work, but reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon.
  • Add heat carefully: If you’re not a fan of spicy food, you can skip the jalapeños or reduce the amount of chili powder.
  • Extra creamy texture: For a creamier consistency, consider adding more dairy-free cream cheese or blending a small portion of the soup.
