RECIPE TIPS

Cream cheese - it is important to add the cream cheese a little at a time, stirring in between, to keep it creamy and prevent it from curdling.
Spicy soup - if you like a spicy kick, you can also add a pinch of chilli powder to the soup while it’s cooking!
Serving suggestions - top with all your favourite Mexican toppings!!! Grated cheese, slices of avocado or a spoonful of guacamole, coriander leaves, a squeeze of fresh lime, sliced jalapeños and tortilla strips orcorn chips.
