Why? Properly to start with it’s scorching! Nothing like scorching soup to heat you from the within when the temperatures are low. Secondly, not like my Low Carb Hen Vegetable Soup and Gradual Cooker Italian Hen, Quinoa & Vegetable Soup, this Mexican soup has chili powder in it which can show you how to clear your sinuses.
Hen soup is a necessity for colds and conserving hydrated throughout the dry winter. I’m fairly positive that I eat it a number of instances every week in January and February.
I created this Mexican Hen Soup for my e-book and it’s a staple in my family. It’s tremendous simple to make and scrumptious. That is the kind of recipe you will see all through my e-book as a result of I’m means too busy to spend hours within the kitchen.

Hen soup is a wholesome consolation meals. You possibly can’t say that about ice cream or potato chips (sadly). Most hen soups are pretty bland and have noodles and broth – which is fantastic more often than not.
This soup is each colourful and flavorful (a feast for the eyes and the stomach!). After I become bored with common hen noodle soup, I make this “Mexican” hen soup as a result of it’s spicy and has corn as an alternative of noodles.
I freeze it in single serving containers for once I desire a mild lunch (solely 216 energy per serving).
For my youngsters, I add cheese and a few crushed tortillas as they want garnishes to take pleasure in this soup. You too can add scorching sauce, avocadoes, cilantro, or black beans to create extra of a chili.
This soup retains effectively within the fridge and even improves over time.
