I think this is from a Gilroy Garlic Festival...it's a light, simple, wonderful starter that I serve in mugs before dinner. It's also our cure-all for winter colds. Since it is so simple, the quality of the chicken stock is crucial. I usually add way more garlic and cilantro than the recipe calls for, but heck, when EVERYONE is eating garlic, who cares?

Another great recipe from Mark Bittman. If you want to add a little heat, use ground cayenne. You can also add diced boneless chicken during the last 10 minutes of cooking. You can used canned drained tomatoes in place of fresh.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic and lime juice will give your soup the best flavor. If you don't have fresh garlic, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, but the flavor will be less intense.
  • Don't overcook the soup: The shrimp and chicken will cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
  • Season to taste: Add salt and pepper to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little bit of heat.

Conclusion:

This garlic lime soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a quick lunch or dinner, and it's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. The soup is also very versatile. You can add different vegetables, such as carrots, celery, or bell peppers. You can also use different types of seafood, such as tilapia or salmon. No matter how you make it, this soup is sure to be a hit!
