Pace Picante Sauce adds a spicy and tangy kick to the soup, enhancing its flavors.

CONS

The bacon and sour cream toppings may add extra calories and fat to this dish, so use them in moderation.

If you are watching your salt intake, you may need to adjust seasoning as canned beans and broth are already salted.
