I'd give it more stars if I could! I love it as it is, but if I have time, I roast a chicken, and use the meat for the soup. Then I salt and roast the bones until they are really brown, then simmer them in a pot for several hours to make a broth (you can add celery, onion, carrot etc to the pot). I usually substitute 2-3 anaheim chilis -- that way we get the flavor of jalapenos without the heat. I also thicken the broth with a little cornstarch just before serviing. Like I said, though, you don't NEED to do anything different for it to be delicious.
