I love to make this soup when the weather is just transitioning between Summer and Fall. It’s delicious with some shredded brisket or chicken added, as well!

4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 red pepper, seeded and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
I small jalapeño, seeded and minced
