The BEST Chicken Soup ever!, Member rlosito

This soup was absolutely delicious! My husband and children were very skeptical, especially because the soup has a green color to it when it is finished. But one taste and all doubts were gone! We did add the juice of one small lime to the soup, which really complimented the cilantro in the recipe. This one is definitely a new family favorite!
