Рецепт Spicy Chicken + Veggie Soup

by Dani Spies

Scroll down to watch the step-by-step video. This Spicy Chicken and Veggie Soup is the final recipe I shared in my ‘3 Homemade Chicken Soup Recipes‘ video (my Classic Chicken Noodle + Lemon, Spinach and Chicken were the other two). What I love so much about this variation is that it’s pasta free and packed with lots of extra garlic and veggies! This version has become my go-to soup whenever I feel a little something trying to wiggle in (my Immunity Chicken Soup is another favorite). This soup gets all of it’s heat from jalapeno peppers, so you can easily adjust the spice depending on how much jalapeno you add.  And remember, most of the heat in a jalapeno comes from the seeds and the ribs that run down the sides, so if you wanted to keep it extra mild, be sure to remove those. Try making this soup with my homemade chicken stock to create an award winning combo that promises to keep you nice and healthy all year round. *Note: This recipe demo starts at 4:40 (just incase you want to skip right to it!).
