Mexican Chicken Soup
"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. WW points w/out optional ingredients = 4/serving"

Delicious! I added in an onion and crushed chili flakes with the garlic and i also added in 1 tablespoon of chili powder, sprinkled with green onions but omitted the cilantro and left out the mozza cheese, thanks for sharing Brooke! -
This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written. I didn't add the optional onions but I did top with pizza blend cheese. We all enjoyed this. This also reheated well. -
Yummy soup! I made it as directed but used a Mexican 4-blend cheese instead of the mozzarella. I like things a little spicier, so added more chili powder, some cumin (as previously suggested), and a dash or 2 of crushed red pepper flakes. Thanks Brooke for a nice lunch. Made for 1-2-3 Tag.

Very easy to make and the cilantro is a must! I served ours with tortilla chips and topped with cheddar cheese instead of the mozzarella. -
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:-)

<br>I have been a member of Zaar for awhile now and found that I love it! I have tried so many recipes and many new foods that I never would have without Zaar.
<br>
<br>I work full-time at a university in Wisconsin, it allows me to travel a bit and see the rest of the state, I work with a lot a great people and am really happy in my job.
<br>
<br>When I'm not working, I spend time with my hubby and 12 year old son. My son has picked up my love for cooking, a few of the things he makes are - naan bread, cookies, and quick breads, I'm so proud of him! In our family we also have two cocker spaniels, our puppy Laci (above) and Peanut, that we adore like they were our children.
<br>
<br>We live in an old farm house that we are remodeling (did the library and the kitchen so far....) on the outskirts of town. Close enough where my hubby can bike to work in the summer, but far enough away from campus that we don't have to lock down our lawn ornaments in fear of college pranks!
