We created an incredibly flavorful broth so you’ll never miss the butter, cream, or any other high calorie dairy in this soup. Commonly, this soup is served with bacon, cheese, and sour cream. We’ve added spinach to up the nutrition and balance the sweet from the Caramelized Onions and Candied Jalapeno garnishes.
