Use a variety of vegetables. This will add flavor, texture, and nutrients to your soup. Some good options include onions, peppers, carrots, celery, and corn.
Use good-quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you can, use homemade chicken broth or a low-sodium store-bought broth.
Don't overcook the chicken. If you cook it too long, it will become dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
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 for extra flavor.
Serve the soup with your favorite toppings. Some good options include shredded cheese, diced avocado, tortilla chips, and sour cream.
