Spicy chicken soup topped with cilantro - super easy to throw together! Don't omit that cilantro, it really 'makes' this soup! Tortilla chips make a nice side to this... or even crush a few and top soup before serving.

Brooke - this was SUPERB! We both enjoyed this for lunch and it was so easy to make - and VERY tasty! I crushed some tortillas chips to serve on top and added some salsa and sour cream, delicious! Made for Photo Tag - merci! FT

Made for Newest Zaar Tag 2008. This was a very quick soup to prepare (I had leftover cooked chicken in my freezer). We were a little disappointed in the flavor as we like things a bit spicier. I thought it could have used cumin and some other spices as it was a little bland. This also could have been because I didn't have any cilantro (mine went bad and with the price of gas I didn't want to make a special trip to the store). Anyway, I will make this again adding some other spices (mainly cumin) and the cilantro.
