Super fast and delicious spicy Mexican soup.
Ingredients
Directions
- Heat oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add onion and jalapeno; cook, stirring often until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook 30 seconds more.
- Add broth (low sodium if possible), increase heat to high, and bring to a rapid simmer. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in salsa, bring back to a simmer, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
- Note: servings are approximately 2 1/2 cups. Jalapeno can be left out if soup is too spicy.

I have a very similar recipe that I make A LOT. It's also great with mixed veggies thrown in and/or topped with some cilantro, avocados and ff sour cream. The kids LOVE it!
