I used white beans instead of pinto, and added green beans and used twice the amount of Feta. It would also be good with more artichoke hearts!

My changes: I used some jarred jalepenos and just regular tomatoes. I also added cumin. I don't know if my chili powder (normal, ground cayenne) is super-powered or something, but I halved the amount and it was still extremely spicy! Next time I'm only using 1/2 tsp. I would think 2 tsp. would set someone's mouth really on fire!!! Otherwise a really good, tasty comfort-food recipe :-)

The end result is delicious, but only after some modifications. First of all, I used about 35oz (1000g) of canned tomatoes instead of the sauce. I also used frozen spinach (250g), which in the finished soup I found to be kind of odd and out of place, even though it adds more nutritional value. I also used frozen green beans, and veggie stock instead of chicken. I had to use *way* more water than called for. I think altogether it was about 1.5 liters (1.5 quarts), in addition to the broth. I have no idea how only 2 cups water plus the broth would be enough given the quantity of vegetables in the soup. Since I added more water, I also added more basil and oregano. Overall this is a delicious soup. It makes a lot, so I am going to freeze about half of it.
