Stephaine I’m new to your site but the name Cafe Teraa Cotta caught my eye. Would this be the one in LIttleton CO? Would you happen to have their Green Chili Recipe? normaly I can not tolerate Chilies but theirs do not cause any problems. Thank You. JoannLee

This was a great hit at my house my husband, nephew and father-in-law loved it. I used chipotle peppers in it though. I will be making this again. I had to make a pot of milder soup for myself. I am can’t handle the spice but the guys sure like it.
