Chef's notes
The saltiness and flavor of the soup will depend on your taco seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
Consider adding a spoonful or two of brown sugar and some red wine vinegar for tang.
Adding a cup of cooked quinoa can make it a little more hearty.
Top with sour cream, cilantro, cheese, red onions, tortilla chips, avocado, or any other preferred toppings.
The third cup of broth can be added at the end if you feel it needs to be thinned out.
