CHICKEN AND HOMINY SOUP WITH LIME AND CILANTRO
This is how you eat soup when it's hot outside. I like to season the chicken with chili powder and cumin, then toss them in the turbo broiler.

CILANTRO-LIME CHICKEN SOUP
This is a delicious, one-pot meal that is just the ticket on cold, cloudy days. The flavors bring the sunny southwest to mind. I usually add extra spices to things, but this was perfect as is. I loved it, but so did my 3-year-old! From Chatelaine, November 2010.

COCONUT-CHICKEN SOUP WITH CHILE AND LIME
Found a similar coconut-chicken soup recipe online and attempted to make it. It's worth trying. You can add additional vegetables if desired, I tried it with potatoes and it worked fine, just make sure you cook the potatoes thoroughly beforehand.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and chicken will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good alternative.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten the flavors.
- Let the soup cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the soup from curdling. You can also chill the soup overnight and then reheat it before serving.
Conclusion:
This chicken vegetable soup with lime and cilantro is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The soup is packed with vegetables, which makes it a nutritious and filling meal. The lime and cilantro add a bright and refreshing flavor to the soup. This soup is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
