For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth. If you prefer a thicker soup, use an immersion blender directly in the pot instead of transferring to a blender or food processor. Adjust the amount of chile peppers to your desired level of spiciness. Serrano or jalapeño peppers work well. This soup freezes well, making it a great option for meal prepping.
