I love this soup!! I like to add shredded chicken and serve with really sweet, buttery honey cornbread. Taken from "The Feast of Santa Fe" by Huntley Dent.

Place green chilies and 1c of soup into food processor and puree. Return to pot. Wipe processor clean.
Put bell pepper and carrot into processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add to soup.
Bring soup to boil for no longer than 1 minute (so bell pepper and carrot remain crisp). Taste for seasoning and texture.
