    Mexican Chicken Soup. A delicious, slightly spiced up, chicken soup for those times when members of the family are under the weather.

    Mexican Chicken Soup

    My son has been ill for the past couple of days. When your teenage son isn't in the mood to eat you know that he isn't feeling well. I whipped up a batch of this Mexican Chicken Soup for him, and the rest of us, for dinner. Even though he didn't eat as much as usual, I know that he was able to finish and enjoy a nutritious meal.

    Mexican Chicken Soup

    I used basic ingredients and this soup was really simple to prepare and ready to eat in no time at all!
