Mexican Hen Soup Recipe

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, in contrast to my Low Carb Hen Vegetable Soup and Sluggish Cooker Italian Hen, Quinoa & Vegetable Soup, this Mexican soup has chili powder in it which is able to enable you to clear your sinuses.

Hen soup is a necessity for colds and retaining hydrated in the course of the dry winter. I’m fairly certain 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 can find all through my e-book as a result of I’m manner too busy to spend hours within the kitchen.

That is actually a toss it within the pan and it’s finished kinda dish.

Hen soup is a wholesome consolation meals. You may’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 get tired of 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 after I need a gentle 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. You can too 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.
