Guadalajara Soup

This deliciously spiced soup is as full of the flavors of Old Mexico as the bustling Western city for which it is named. Although this is not a fast recipe, it takes only minutes to throw together. While it's cooking, you can do other things or treat yourself to a siesta. Serve hot with a garnishing of sliced green onions and Watkins Cilantro.
