CHICKEN TOMATILLO SOUP



Chicken Tomatillo Soup image

I had tomatillos to use and wanted to make something more exquisite than salsa verde. I combined two favorite recipes, added my own special touches and made chicken tomatillo soup. Feel free to add cayenne pepper or Tabasco sauce to spice it up. -Katrina Krumm, Apple Valley, Minnesota

TOMATILLO AND CHICKEN SOUP



Tomatillo and Chicken Soup image

Tomatillos are small green vegetables with a papery husk. They are part of the nightshade family, but they do not taste like tomatoes. They have a tangy, slightly sour taste that pairs wonderfully with almost any variety of pepper, and they have much smaller seeds. This soup recipe relies on their unique flavor while adding some more familiar elements, like canned green chiles, cilantro, chicken broth, and leftover chicken.
