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!). 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 after I need a mild lunch (solely 216 energy per serving).
