When I use a recipe for the first time I try to stick to what the originator of the recipe had chosen. I just could not bring myself to use 4 whole Jalapeno peppers with seeds chopped. So I chopped one whole pepper and seeded another before chopping. The soup was very good but still too hot. The flavors were great and interesting so next time (and there will be a next time) I am going to use 4 pepper seeded and chopped for flavor and get the heat from a 1/4 tsp cayenne.

My family loved this meal. I served it with herbed mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. I used pork loin to make the meaallions which really made it tender and instead of using the port wine I used an available shiraz. Other than that I don't think I changed the recipe much at all. Thanks so much for the recipe.
