Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    One pound of pork boneless loin chops, cut into cubes, would also work well for this recipe.
  • tip 2
    A squeeze of fresh lime juice over servings of this Mexican-inspired soup adds a wonderful fresh flavor. It also blends well with the chili and cilantro.
