Here’s a spicy version of everyone’s favorite soup. It is packed with a variety of colorful vegetables. Make sure to choose a smaller zucchini, which will have more flavor than larger ones. This is a versatile recipe that offers plenty of room to personalize the dish to your palette. If you’d like a little more heat, use serrano or habañero peppers instead of jalapeños. You can also incorporate cayenne pepper or extra-hot Mexican chili powder to add even more spiciness to this flavorful Mexican-style soup. If you can’t handle the heat, leave out the jalapeno seeds or omit it altogether.
