Mexican Chicken Soup

by Shaheen Ali

When the climate is dark and rainy, clouds surrounding your backyard, nothing can be as comforting as a hot , aromatic and flavorful bowl of a soup. Soups are not just healthy but also provides energy and a great appetite to the body. Mexican chicken soup is one such scrumptious soup that is loaded with the goodness of veggies and chicken. Vegetables and chicken slow cooked in chicken broth gives an amazing flavor and texture that is simply irresistible. Teem it with some hot, oven fresh bread and soup sticks and i bet you won’t ask for anything better this monsoon.

Honestly i am not much of a soup fan but this Mexican Chicken Soup actually tickled my taste buds and now i have to confess that i have fallen in love with it. A bowl of soup is comforting , refreshing, warm and absolutely filling. The recipe here is adapted from Food Network with certain variations done by me.
