For a spicier soup, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a finely diced jalapeño along with the other seasonings. Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorites, such as avocado, sour cream, or a squeeze of lime juice. If you don't have banana peppers, you can substitute with bell peppers or other mild peppers. To make it vegetarian, replace chicken broth with vegetable broth.
