This Mexican hen soup recipe will ward off the winter blues.
Why? Properly to begin with it’s sizzling! Nothing like sizzling soup to heat you from the within when the temperatures are low. Secondly, not like my Low Carb Rooster Vegetable Soup and Sluggish Cooker Italian Rooster, Quinoa & Vegetable Soup, this Mexican soup has chili powder in it which can make it easier to clear your sinuses.
Rooster soup is a necessity for colds and protecting hydrated through the dry winter. I’m fairly certain that I eat it a number of occasions every week in January and February.
I created this Mexican Rooster Soup for my e book and it’s a staple in my family. It’s tremendous straightforward to make and scrumptious. That is the kind of recipe you will discover all through my e book as a result of I’m method too busy to spend hours within the kitchen.
That is actually a toss it within the pan and it’s accomplished kinda dish.
Rooster 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 great 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 an alternative of noodles.
I freeze it in single serving containers for once I need a mild lunch (solely 216 energy per serving).
For my children, I add cheese and a few crushed tortillas as they want garnishes to get pleasure from this soup. It’s also possible to add sizzling sauce, avocadoes, cilantro, or black beans to create extra of a chili.
This soup retains effectively within the fridge and even improves over time.
