MOUTHFUL OF SPICE CHICKEN VEGETABLE SOUP



Mouthful of Spice Chicken Vegetable Soup image

I usually make a nice Chicken Tortilla Soup recipe that I got from Taste of Home, but this particular night, I wanted something a little different. I had a couple containers of arugula in my refrigerator and wanted to see if I could use that in the soup recipe.....I did! This soup really is quite spicy, but I am approximating on all the spice and vegetable amounts. Please feel free to alter the spices and veggie content to your liking. As I have it right now, there remains a nice heat in my mouth after a couple bites but not so much so that I am feeling a need for bread or milk. ;) Note--you can definitely leave the chicken out to have just a vegetarian soup; the vegetables are the main appearance here, not the chicken! You could also very easily add tofu cubes to the soup instead of the chicken. If you try this, I do hope you enjoy it and find it as simple as I did to make.

SPICY CHICKEN VEGETABLE SOUP



Spicy Chicken Vegetable Soup image

With the onset of winter I'm always on the outlook for new soup recipes to warm me up and this one, from UK chef Lindsey Bareham, caught my eye. I modified it to suit my taste. You can also use cooked chicken pieces in this recipe, just add them right at the end instead of earlier in the process.
