Spa Index Kitchen Notes
You'll note this is calculated using 1/2 cup as a side serving, a "soup" if you will. It can easily be converted to an entree by increasing portions and multiplying the calories accordingly.
You can also customize this dish so many ways as shown below. Make it thicker and heartier by adding less broth. Make it spicier by adding red chili pepper sauce. Use chicken instead of pork! Top with Avocado, Cabbage, Limes, and Shredded Tortilla Strips!
