EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

You can use 2 cans regular diced tomatoes and 1 can Old El Paso® chopped green chiles instead of the tomatoes with green chilies.

Sweet potatoes and other bright orange vegetables contain beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A.

This soup is terrible! The flavors do not work well together, it is very salty even with low sodium broth. Do not make this soup, you will not enjoy it.

The soup turned out great! Just learn from my mistake and watch the time with baking the chips. The 6 min left my kitchen filled with smoke and charcoal on the cookie sheet.
