This soup is a quick & easy spin on King Ranch Casserole. I've even added diced zucchini or grated carrots and sauteed along with the onions and bell peppers successfully. I've also used just 1 can of Rotel and a (7oz) can of green chilies for a slightly spicier version. Adapted from recipe in Southern Living magazine.
