Notes
- You can adjust the level of taco seasoning to your preference for spice.
- Using fresh bell peppers enhances the flavor but frozen can be used in a pinch.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be frozen for up to 2 months.
- Add jalapeños or hot sauce if you prefer a spicier soup.
- Serve with warm tortillas or cornbread to complement the dish.
