CALDO TLALPENO
This is a spicy delicious Mexican chicken soup. It's flavor only gets better the next day. A flavorful homemade stock really makes this soup, but commercial stock is good too, just make sure you check for saltiness before adding additional salt. Personally, I like a spicier soup, so I would add 2-3 chipotle chiles

Steps:
- In a large saucepan bring the broth just to a boil and in it poach the chicken at a bare simmer for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is just cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chicken cool in the broth. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, reserving the broth, and discard the skin and bones. Shred the chicken and reserve it, covered and chilled. In a large heavy saucepan cook the onion in the oil over moderate heat, stirring, until it is softened, stir in the carrots and the zucchini, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the reserved broth to the vegetable mixture with the chick-peas and simmer the soup for 8 minutes, or until the carrots are just tender. The soup and the chicken may be prepared up to this point 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Stir the reserved chicken into the soup with the chilies and salt and pepper to taste, simmer the soup gently until the chicken is heated through, and divide it among 8 bowls. Garnish each serving with some of the avocado, peeled, pitted, and sliced, and a lime wedge.

Tips:
- **Use fresh, quality ingredients:** The fresher the ingredients, the better the soup will taste. This is especially true for the chicken, vegetables, and spices. Use organic vegetables and free-range chicken if possible. - **Don't overcrowd the pot:** When adding ingredients to the pot, make sure not to overcrowd it. This will prevent the soup from cooking evenly and will make it more difficult to achieve a rich, flavorful broth. - **Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes:** Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes will help to develop the flavors and make the soup more flavorful. You can simmer the soup for longer if you have time, but 30 minutes is the minimum amount of time needed. - **Season the soup to taste:** Once the soup is done simmering, taste it and season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten the flavors.Conclusion:
