Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients beforehand: Dicing the chicken, chopping the vegetables, and measuring the spices in advance will save you time and make the cooking process smoother.
  • Use a large pot: This soup tends to bubble and splatter, so it's best to use a large pot to prevent any messes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're cooking for a large group, consider making the soup in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot and ensure even cooking.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 15 minutes. This will help the flavors meld and develop.
  • Season to taste: Before serving, taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, chili powder, or cumin until it reaches your desired flavor profile.
