This was excellent. I didn't change a thing, except I forgot the peppers. The fresh cilantro was one of the best parts. It's great without the peppers, but I can imagine how much better it would be had I remembered to add them! - 10/2/11

Is the sodium off on this recipe? Do thay make a beef broth with NO sodium? Even the low sodium swanson beef broth, it would still be 400 mg per serving. Correct me if I am wrong. If there is a no sodium broth let me know I will buy it by the case! Will be trying this recipe tonight. - 9/9/11
