This soup creation today has flavors from the garden you will come back for seconds for! In fact, the days I make this I have it for lunch, dinner and breakfast the next day. It isn’t too bad with a fried sunny side up egg on top. You will love my Spicy Chicken Soup Recipe if you enjoy the southwest of salsa flavors.

Spicy Salsa Chicken Soup Details

Honestly, this soup isn’t that spicy unless you want to take it up a few notches. The basic ingredients including fresh corn and tomatoes goes great with most any hot pepper. This season I grew a new variety from seed called ‘Puma’ and it was AMAZING!!! Scoville Scale which is in units (SHU) puts the Puma Pepper at 300,000 – 400,000 depending on how a plant is grown and processed. I would say mine were up there was a hot jalapeno because it was grown mostly outside in hardiness zone 5b. This just maybe alot of ‘garden chat’ for those who do not grow their own but important to know when preparing a pepper in food you consume. In the meantime, most pepper enthusiast can find unique varieties for spicy chicken soup and other recipes at local farmers markets.

A little goes along way….

This is a creative recipe using what I have on hand. If you follow my networking, you know my husband and I love those rotisserie chickens you can purchase at Costco. You get a huge and juicy chicken that fills the container it is sold in. How can you refuse that??? We can eat off this poultry for a week. One of the recipes we use is this Spicy Chicken Soup I came up with one day. The recipe can use fresh-made salsa as a base or don’t be shy and pop open a fresh jar of your favorite salsa for chips. I hope you will use the print option on this post to add this to your cookbook. Please be sure to send me a message and let me know what you think about this dish.

Would you add anything different to this soup? I do add a dash of sour cream and some crunched up corn chips when serving. If I have cilantro on hand I may add a dash of that as well. I’d love to hear from you so comment and tell me what you would add in addition to this soup.
