Very much like a Chili flavor. What was nice about this is that there was no fat and lots of fiber. I didn't have jalapenos so I substituted some Serrano Chipotle hot sauce. I would recommend adding the spicy ingredients to it when you have it in the food processor. You can always add more but you can't take it out. Actually I could have beaten what was in the food processor is as a bean dip. This soup is very filling.
