Yesterday, my mom added a can of tomatoes and chilies to a can of plain tomato soup. “Too hot for me,” she said. “I’m bringing it to you for the husband.” I thought it was too hot for either of us, so I decided to add a few other cans to dilute it’s awesome power. I added a can of black beans, a can of plain diced tomatoes, a can of corn, a cup and a half of diced cooked chicken and a pinch of dried cilantro. ‘Not bad at all and still plenty hot. Of course, that didn’t stop me from adding a few crumbles of habanero cheddar from the Ashe County Cheese Factory! Yum!
