This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in the fridge, so this is a great recipe to have on hand.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water.

I found this soup to be a bit bland. I think it could have used more spices.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed the flavors. Next time, I'll use less chili peppers.
