Santa Fe Soup Seasonings

Santa Fe is in New Mexico so you will get Mexican flavours similar to Indian cuisine due to the vibrant colours and flavourful taste. What is Santa Fe seasoning? Well, of course, it is going to be spicy, but what spices will you use? To spice it up, you will be tossing in some cumin, chilli, and cayenne pepper. If you like the spicy flavour, then you can combine the seasoning ahead of time and keep it in an air-tight container or spice jar.

It’s not just the spices that make this Sante Fe soup with chicken, but also the other ingredients like beans, peppers, onions, corn, and of course jalapenos with the veins and seeds removed.
