It's delicious and we make it all winter long- very good comfort food. It also makes tons (TONS!) of leftovers, so you can have it again and again, and its even better reheated! Now, to add a little something special, you can subsitute a 12 oz bottle of dark beer for the broth when you add the tomatoes & jalepenos, it makes it that much more yummier.
