This was delicious. I didn't expect a lot, since there were so few ingredients. I cooked mine in the crockpot, and used bone- in chicken...removing it and shredding the chicken. I added some salt. Wonderful!

    Who would have thought something so simple could be this good.Very nice and quick to put together soup. The flavors blended well together. I used my homemake salsa, so it may have been a little spicy for some, but not me. This is even better the next day. Thanks kolibri for a real keeper.

    I did not expect this soup to be this wonderful. It's ingredients are simplistic but the combination is divine. I used Pace Hot Salsa and Alphabet Noodles. I also added a bit of sour cream to the top when I served it to cool the heat of the salsa. I have been sick for three days and this soup just cleared up my chest and i can breath! This is my new chicken soup for sick days!!! Try it! You will love it!
