Step 1

1. In a soup pot saute onion, green pepper, and jalapeno until soft.

3. Next add the four spices and cook for one minute
4. Add the other ingredients (EXCEPT for the cheese) and cook until heated through.

Note: to freeze this soup I am going to leave out the cheese and stir that in when I reheat it and serve the soup.
