Mexico City Soup

I love chicken soup at Mexican restaurants and many if times I think it's called Mexico City soup - if not then I just made it up! Ha! But this is my version:

Mexico City Soup

I start it the same way I start my chicken noodle soup-

Boiling a whole chicken with lots of garlic.

Season with salt, garlic powder, lemon pepper, cinnamon and red pepper.

Then add

Chopped onion, celery and carrots

Let that boil for a good hour.

When chicken has fully cooked and made a good stock (at least one hour) take chicken out.

Then add the following

Chopped Roma tomatoes, zucchini, squash, Mexican squash and frozen corn.

Then add 1/2 cup of rice

Add back deboned chicken.

Cover, let simmer on med-low for about 45 mins to cook vegs and rice. 

I like to top it with pico, avocado and cheese.

I made a pico with avocado to top mine but I usually just but store bought pico 

My pico I made to top it 

The best parsley stem picker!

Enjoy!
