    I had heard that the kids in the tutoring program loved the soup, so I decided to try it for my family. There are only a few things that I have found that we will all eat. My two sons are picky eaters, and don’t necessarily like the same things. My husband and I like flavorful spicy foods that my kids won’t touch. Anyway, I made this soup and WE ALL LIKED IT AND ATE IT!!!!!! My husband and I added a little chipotle hot sauce to give it a kick. But I am very grateful for this delicious, easy recipe that ALL my family will eat – thanks FamilyWorks tutoring program for sharing it!
