Tex Mex Soup

Tis the season for soups.  I am new to Texas and Lord knows that I should not be cold, but I confess.  After moving here in the dead heat of summer, my blood thinned quickly and Im longing for warmth. 
Here is a Yummy soup from a cafe from none other than IOWA!  I thought that was funny being the name is TEX MEX SOUP!!!

1 onion, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 15 ounce can stewed tomatoes
4 cups chicken stock
1 can tomato soup
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

For serving:
avocado
sour cream
tortilla chips
grated cheese

Saute onion, jalapeno, garlic and stewed tomatoes in a large kettle for several minutes,  Add remaining ingredients and simmer one hour. 
Garnish with fresh avocado, grated cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips. 
Serves 4-6
