#26 Mexican Chicken Noodle Soup

There are times when you need to "wing it" while you cook and that's how the new recipe happened today. It was originally going to be chicken tortilla soup, but that was a little too difficult when there were no tortillas in the house. So here is a somewhat spicy, hearty and tasty alternative.

Mexican Chicken Noodle Soup

Ingredients:

1 garlic clove, minced

1 medium onion, chopped

4 Tbsp. oil

2 cans Mexican-style tomatoes, chopped (with jalapeno if you want it to be spicier)

1 tomato, chopped

1/2 green pepper, chopped

4 cups chicken broth

2 cups beef broth

1 1/2 cup chicken, chopped

1 Tbsp. cumin

chili powder to taste

2 pkgs. ramen noodles (I was desperate, you can use whatever noodles you choose)

Garnish with: shredded cheese, sour cream, hot sauce

Directions:

Saute garlic and onion in oil. Add all tomatoes, peppers, broths, chicken, cumin and chili powder. Mix well and simmer for 45 minutes - 1 hour. For the last 5 minutes, add the ramen noodles to cook. Serve and garnish with whatever toppings you prefer.

Provecho!
