This was SO GOOD. The salsa did not add any heat, just flavor. If you like spicy, add a can of diced green chilies amd a few splashes tabasco or other hot pepper sauce. I scooped up the bites with peices of shell. mmmmmmm

Sounds great I can't wait to try it. It's very similar to a Taco soup I make with ground beef.
