This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some leftover rice or pasta to make it even more filling.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the chicken. The soup was still very flavorful and satisfying.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
