This recipe is a great base! To add some more flavor I added garlic and some chopped onions to the melted butter before adding the flour. I also added a little less flour because I thought the flavor came through to much. You could add a little more chicken broth too, if its still to creamy. After the soup cooked for a little bit I added quite a bit of cumin and a chicken bullion cube for more flavor. The soup itself however is so simple that you could add just about any seasoning you want. I also found that it really doesn't need to be simmered as long as it says, but it does help the flavor of the chilies to come out. Also, it helps to add some crushed red pepper if the chilies aren't spicy enough for you. After its cooked you almost don't need to add any salt because the flavor is so good, but it never hurts!
