Key Ingredients
Jalapeño – Feel free to add more or less jalapeño based on your spice preferences. I used a whole jalapeño in my soup and it was subtly spicy without being overwhelming. Though if you are sensitive to spice, you can use just half of a jalapeño or leave it out of your soup altogether. Cooked Chicken – Either diced or shredded cooked chicken will work in this soup. This recipe is also a great way to use up any leftover chicken or put a rotisserie chicken to good use! I used leftover chopped chicken breast in my Mexican chicken soup and it turned out delicious. It also saved my leftover chicken from going bad. However, if you don’t have any leftover chicken, you can use this super simple method to cook and shred chicken instead.
