Soup Nazi's Mexican Chicken Chili

Didn't you always want to try a Soup Nazi soup. Just to see what it's like. Well the answer is excellent. While I usually don't do recipes with this many ingredient, it wasn't really that bad with a little planning. Print the recipe and go shopping.

I'm still on my marathon of work. See previous posts for details. Large pot of soup just fits my current life style. But I wanted something special and had save this recipe a couple of months ago. If you Google Soup Nazi recipes you will get four different recipes that are repeated in many places. I chose the Mexican Chicken Chile.  It's a tomato spicy chicken soup. It will take some time but really not a lot of work.

Rating:

Notes: The recipe calls for 1 pound of chicken but I used 1 1/2 due to size of the chicken breasts. I didn't have chicken stock so the chicken broth was fine.
On a spicy scale this is about a 3 out of 10 so some of you might want to spice it up a little.

1 15-ounce can red kidney beans, plus liquid
