Mexican Chicken Soup
You may have noticed I’m rather fond of simple Mexican flavours. Be it my Healthy Taco Bowl, my Chicken Fajitas or my Taco Bowl Soup I really love the flavours from that part of the world. And this Mexican Chicken Soup is a treasure to go into that category! There is so much to love about it. And once you give it a try, you will find that it quickly becomes part of the regular family recipe rotation.
But why is it so good? It’s delicious to start, which is really the most important thing. But it’s quick and easy to make and comforting to eat. It’s something you make when you feel like the flavours of a taco but don’t really want a taco. When you want warm and hearty, but not too heavy. When you feel like a simple chicken dinner, but not just chicken and vegetables or salad. It’s winning on so many levels.
When we have this for dinner I dish up the soup then place all the toppings in the middle of the table. This lets everyone customise their Mexican chicken soup to exactly their liking. Which is always important when feeding kids!
A time saving option as well – if you do’t have time to make the broth and poach the chicken, use a shredded BBQ chicken instead and plain chicken stock as the base for the broth. This would reduce the cook time to around 15 minutes!
