This is always a crowd favorite. Great to make ahead as the flavors just get better with time. I love to serve this with a bunch of topping so everyone can make their own creation! Our favorite toppings are tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, sour cream, avocado, and chopped cilantro. Delicious! xo. MyGreenDiet.com —MyGreenDiet.com

Well, chili powder it had to be! Soup is real good, I added a pinch of Mexican oregano, as it cooked. Awesome!

What was the alternative ingredient to taco seasoning? Maybe chili powder?
