I created this Mexican Hen Soup for my ebook and it’s a staple in my family. It’s tremendous straightforward to make and scrumptious. That is the kind of recipe you’ll discover all through my ebook as a result of I’m method too busy to spend hours within the kitchen.

Hen soup is a wholesome consolation meals. You’ll be able to’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!). Once 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 a substitute of noodles.
I freeze it in single serving containers for once I need a mild lunch (solely 216 energy per serving).
For my youngsters, I add cheese and a few crushed tortillas as they want garnishes to get pleasure from this soup. You can too add sizzling sauce, avocadoes, cilantro, or black beans to create extra of a chili.
This soup retains properly within the fridge and even improves over time.
