{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Re: Intro and jalapeno-cilantro soup



Oh my gosh, this sounds amazing! I can't wait till I get some Jalapenos from my garden this summer. Any suggestions from the group how to cut down on the fat & calories? Maybe substituting some chicken broth or milk for the cream? Any suggestions for thickening it then?

Thanks, Ronda!

Season with salt and pepper.  Just before serving, add cilantro and save a bit to sprinkle on top as a garnish.  Serve with tortilla chips.
