Ps. sometimes i add a can of white pinto beans, and an extra cup of water.
Also, you can adjust/experiment with the seasonings that you like to use. sometimes i'll use fresh seasonings if i have the money for them.
The garlic, tomato, habanero are the base recipe of this soup that i started with, everything else i gradually experimented with adding to it.
