I had been going to this Mexican restaurant, "La Hacienda," forever. I always ordered the huge bowl of chicken soup. I was shocked to hear that they were closing the restaurant, so I had to make my own makeshift version of the authentic classic. Enjoy!

Ingredients

6 serv.
  • chicken breasts, cubed3 -4
  • (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies1
  • large onion, chopped1
  • fresh cilantro, chopped3 tablespoons
  • cooked rice2 cups
  • low sodium chicken broth8 cups
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • jalapenos, chopped (i use the ones in jars)3 tablespoons
  • limes, cut into wedges (or lime juice)2

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    In a large pot, add everything but the rice and limes. Cook on high heat, bringing the soup to a boil for about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Turn the heat down to low and simmer; add the rice and stir as little as possible until you're ready to eat.

  3. 3

    Optional: add avocado chunks into the soup and stir.

    Enjoy! When ready to eat, serve the soup with juiced lime wedges. The juice adds a good flavor to the soup! =).
