“A splash of sherry enhances this hearty, easy-to-make soup. For a milder flavor, remove the ribs and seeds from the jalapeno before dicing." —Tia Musser, Hudson, Indiana

This recipe is very very good. I made it only three times since I haven't had it so long. Twice I did not use sherry and once I did; I have found the sherry made it milder, so I use that for people who don't like spice as much as I do. I hope you submit recipes again; this is so good! Thank you!

This recipe really hit the spot today as we head into fall. Went well with a whole wheat baguette. Will definitely be making this again!

This was very very good. I wanted spicier than it read, so I used 1 cup of Tostitos medium salsa instead of the can of tomatoes with mild green chilies and the 4 oz. can of chopped green chilies. (I halved the recipe) Next time I make this, I will use hot salsa instead of medium, but that's all I had on hand. I thought the addition of sherry made it milder, so next time unless I make it for someone else, I will not be using it. Again, this was very very good. Thank you.
