According to Wikipedia: The ocelot is a wild cat native to the southwestern United States, Mexico, and Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Margarita. A medium-sized cat, it is characterized by solid black spots and streaks on its coat, round ears, and white neck and undersides.

red and green peppers, undrained
1 cup Old El Paso™ Thick 'n Chunky salsa

Directions:
1. In large saucepan, mix all ingredients except cilantro. Heat to boiling over medium-high heat.

Kathe,
ReplyDeleteZesty Mexican Soup sounds yummy! I love Mexican food in general so a bowl of spicy goodness would be perfect on a cold day. Are you going to offer your A2Z soup recipe collection as pdf? That would be really cool!
I fell terribly behind with keeping up with others last month, so it's time to redeem myself by playing a bit of catch up with you today. ;)
Congratulations for finishing the challenge, my dear!
