- Adjust seasonings to taste.
- Remove bay leaves and discard.
- Serve soup hot.

- NOTE: If you like a spicy soup, add about 1 teaspoon of Mexican Chili Powder and some Cayenne Pepper.
- I also went very light on the amount of salt used, so the soup could be somewhat bland, add salt to your taste.
