Chef's notes
The soup was initially planned with vegetable broth, but it was found to be seasoned well without it.
For those who prefer draining beans, add an extra cup of vegetable or chicken broth.
Key ingredient is salsa; choose based on your preference for spice level.
Recommended salsa brand:
Herdez, especially their "Caesera" and Chipotle flavors.
