  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chopped onions, jalapeno, Anaheim peppers, and bell pepper. Cook until softened.
  • Stir in minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, oregano, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add Rotel tomatoes (with juice), chicken broth, and Better Than Bouillon. Bring to a boil.
