Jalapeรฑo pepper is the heat source. The recipe calls for a tablespoon of minced chili, which is roughly 1/2 of a fresh jalapeรฑo. Feel free to use the full pepper if you’d like your soup on the spicier side.

If no jalapeรฑo is available, you can also use crushed red pepper as an alternative. You can either add it (start with 1/4 a teaspoon) with the mustard and cumin to have its heat permeate the soup. Or simply add it at the end to control each bowl’s heat individually.
