Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your soup the best flavor. If you can, use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, the soup will be watery and bland. Add the ingredients in batches, if necessary.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering allows the flavors to develop and meld together. The longer you simmer the soup, the better it will taste.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. Be careful not to overseason the soup, as you can always add more seasoning later.
  • Garnish the soup before serving: A few simple garnishes can make your soup look and taste even better. Try adding chopped cilantro, diced avocado, or a dollop of sour cream.

Conclusion:

This Mexican chicken soup with jalapeno dumplings is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a cold night.
